Expert Reply:
The orange wire that doesn't get used in the brake controller wiring of your 2008 Silverado is for a third brake light signal. This is often referred to as the CHMSL and is most often used for a rear center brake light connection when using a camper or shell with that center brake light feature.
I've attached a video to show this in the installation.
