The red wire from the Tekonsha Voyager Brake Controller, # 39510, will need to be spliced to the cold side of the stoplight switch which can be found behind your brake pedal. You will want to use a circuit tester like part # PTW2993 to test for the wire that only has signal when the brake pedal is pressed. Typically, this is a light blue wire on Chevrolet vehicles, but I would still recommend testing to ensure you have the correct wire.

I have attached a photo and a help article on wiring a brake controller for you to check out. This should be helpful when wiring your brake controller.
