Hey Kevin, we unfortunately do not have that info handy here so what you'd have to do is test each wire for it's function and hook up the wires from the brake controller accordingly.
So coming off the pigtail from a standard brake controller like the Tekonsha Prodigy P3 # 90195 that you were looking at, you'd need to identify your 12V power and attach it to the black wire, find the stoplight switch and connect it to the red wire, connect the ground to the white, and attach the trailer brakes to the blue wire.
Let me know if you have any other questions though and I'd be happy to help!
