Question:

Your wiring kit 5506, which Im installing in my 2018 F150, has a black and a white wire. The black wire, as shown in your YouTube video, goes from the battery, thru the supplied breaker, to the power wire of the trailer brake harness. The white wire is not mentioned. Does the white wire go directly from the negative - battery terminal to the white ground wire in the trailer brake harness?
