If you're referring to what you need to install a trailer brake controller like the Redarc Tow-Pro Elite # RED44FR on your 1980 Dodge W400 PowerWagon; you'll also need to install a 4 flat trailer connector # C58044, if not already present, and add a 7 way connector # ETBC7 if you don't already have one present.
If you already have all that, you can install # RED44FR, wiring the black wire to the positive terminal on your vehicle battery, the blue wire to the corresponding blue wire on your trailers electric brakes, the red wire to your vehicle's brake light trigger, and the white wire to a suitable ground.
