You need the fuse in place to power the system. That is in the fuse box in the engine bay

The light grey plug is the OEM harness. The brown plug is the pigtail from the brake controller. In this case, a Tekonsha Prodigy unit.

Take your fuse panel cover off, look to the right side through the triangle opening. That is the plug there where you need to plug in your brake controller. It is prewired to the big plug in the rear. Mine was plug and play no other fuses or relays needed.

thank you for the picture. i would have never found it without it.
yours looks angled a little bit for easier access than mine, but i finally got it.

is it ok if i keep and use the picture for referance if someone else should ask?
