The brake controller would connect to the wires under the dash as follows:

Orange vehicle wire connects to black wire from brake controller.
Black vehicle wire connects to white wire from brake controller.
Dark blue vehicle wire connects to dark blue wire from brake controller.
Light blue vehicle wire connects to red wire from brake controller.

The remaining wire is for an illumination circuit which is NOT needed for the brake controller. The extra wire can be taped off and bundled up out of the way. I have linked you to an install video showing a brake controller being installed on a similar vehicle, a Chevy Trailblazer. The install procedure will be the same as on your vehicle.
