If you have current coming out of the brake controler it may be quicker just to run a new wire to the rear of the truck. I had to do that on a friend's dodge this spring it was 10 minutes with alot less headache.

Do you remember which wire you connected to coming out of the controller?
This is a 97 Dodge W 250.

Blue wire is your trailer brake wire.

Black wire is the hot wire from the battery
red wire goes to the cold side of your stop light switch on the brake pedal

white wire is the gound.

If the truck has a factory tow package sometimes the colors don't match those coming out of the brake control.

I know from experience that if you get it wrong you can make white smoke come out of the brake controller. Crying or Very sad
