I'd be happy to help with that. The tow package wires are under the dash, to the left of the steering column. The tow package wiring harness can be easily identified by the white tag hanging from it. The wires in the harness are Red, Dark Blue, Light Blue, White and maybe Orange.

The red tow package wire connects to the black brake controller wire, the dark blue tow package wire connects to the blue controller wire, the light blue OR the orange wire connects to the red controller wire (tape off the end of the wire you don't use) and the white wires connect together.

If you don't already have a brake controller, you can't go wrong with the Tekonsha Prodigy P2, part # 90885. The P2 is very easy to install, set up and use. It's one of our all-time best sellers and is extremely highly rated by our customers. The controller includes a wiring pigtail that would wire directly into your tow package wiring as I outlined above.

I've linked you to an FAQ article that'll run you though the whole process as well as to an install video that you'll find helpful.
