To find the correct wire, you will need a circuit tester like # PTW2993. Probe the wires on the brake switch located above the brake pedal. You are looking for the wire that carries a signal ONLY when the brake pedal is pressed. If the wire carries a signal at any other time, like when the vehicle lights are on or the turn signal is engaged, it is not the correct wire. I have included a link below to an FAQ article on installing a brake controller from scratch that may help.
