It's pretty simple to install the power connection for the Curt # C51180 Wireless Brake Controller. We actually offer a kit that offers everything you need, part # BRK-ELECKIT. The kit includes the wire, inline circuit breaker, hardware and even the zip ties needed to complete the installation. We also offer a full kit that includes the 4 pole to 7-way adapter as part # ETBC7L.
I've linked to an install video and a help article that you might find helpful.
