You are definitely on the right track. It sounds like you did install a wiring harness and relays like part # C56225. If those relays have been installed all you would need is the part # HM43534 that you referenced. This will plug right in and give you both a 7-way and 4- pin connector.

For operating electric brakes you will also need a brake controller. I recommend the Tekonsha prodigy P3 part # 90195. This is a great all around controller and gives you pully proportional braking. Large accessible buttons and a Customizable, easy-to-read LCD display make this one of the best controllers on the market. You also have the option of a plug-and-play pigtail # 3050-P also, so install will be a piece of cake.

I have included links to a few videos below for you to take a look at.
