Anyone wire up a Voyager brake controller? I need help with my last termination of the red brake wire from the unit to the stoplight switch. Where is it located? Is it a wire I can splice into or can I terminate it into a plug? My truck does not have a tow package so it does not have the factory installed harness. I do have a 7-pin connector out back. My truck is a 2002 Screw FX4 with a 5.4. The diagram below really is generic and does not help. Any help would be great thanks.



Typical Brake Control Wiring Diagram

Hitch supplied brake controllers require 4 wire connections:

1. Trailer Feed (usually blue): This is the wire that supplies brake power for the controller to the 6-way or 7-way trailer connector at the back of the vehicle. Some vehicles with factory tow packages already have this wire run from under the dash to the rear of the vehicle. Otherwise, the wire will need to be run along the underside of the vehicle and through the firewall to the desired Brake Control mounting location. To get through the firewall, sometimes a hole must be drilled. However, grommets or pre-existing holes are already available in most vehicles.
2. Ground (usually white): This wire is connected from the brake controller to any reliable ground location.
3. Brake Switch (usually red): This can be found near the top of the brake pedal. There are wires extending from the switch and using a circuit tester, the wire that has power when the brake pedal is pressed can be found. This wire is tapped into using a scotch lock.
4. Battery Power (usually black): This is the connection that supplies power to the brake controller. Some vehicles with factory tow packages already have this wire run from under the dash to the battery with some kind of circuit protection. Otherwise, a wire must be run through the firewall and connected directly to the battery with an in line circuit breaker.

 

The stop light switch is at the end of the rod connected to your brake pedal...look under the dash at the pedal and find the switch with the wires coming out of it and connect it to the one that has power when you press the pedal. The other will have power all the time.
