Question Brake Controller connector location

I'm an idiot and cannot locate the connector for the electric brake controller. My '03 has the trailer package and is supposed to have this connector. I bought a Tekonsha pigtail to connect --- but cannot find where to plug in.
Thanks

Thanks. I found it.... and have now found out that Tekonsha makes 2 diffferent connectors of which I bought the wrong one. Oh well, one step at a time.

Thanks again.

OK, boy that helps me too! I have an orange wire. Does anyone know the use for this wire? I have all the wire functions covered, backup, left/stop, right/stop, blue for brakes, white common, even the backup, and the clearance. I don't know what the orange one is for. Maybe the battery charger??

The teckonsha makes an adapter for each of the big three. Only one for each Fords/GMs/Dodge
