Brake controllers like the Prodigy P3 part # 90195 that you referenced will draw power for the trailer brakes from the battery of the vehicle they are installed in either by directly wiring to the battery or through factory wiring that goes to a fuse box first and then eventually to the battery. I attached a picture that shows how a brake controller normally wires up as well.
