Sure, for your Brake Buddy Stealth Supplemental Braking System # HM39530, you are going to want to connect the:
- Blue Wire - To your vehicle's 7-way connector, and will tell the brakes to activate.
- White Wire - Will get spliced into your vehicle's existing wiring that runs to your vehicle's negative battery post.
- Black Wire - Will get spliced into your existing wire going to the 20 amp circuit breaker or in-line fuse to the positive terminal on your motorhomes battery.
-Red Wire - Will be spliced into the existing wire going to the cold side of your motorhome's stop light switch, which is located by the brake pedal.
If you're unsure on which side is the cold side, you can press the brake pedal and use a circuit tester # PTW2992 to find which wire powers your motorhome's stop lamps.
If you go to around the 20 minute mark in the attached install video you can see one of our techs going over how to do this as well.
I've also attached a wiring diagram for the all-in-one connector for you to check out.
