I have attached a basic brake controller wiring diagram for you. You will want to make sure that you ground the white wire to the negative post on the battery. The black wire will attach to the positive battery post. The red wire will tap into the stoplight switch on your vehicle's brake pedal. The blue wire will run back to the trailer connector. The brake controller will come with the universal 4-wire harness.

I have also linked the installation directions for the Tekonsha Voyager # 39510.

Many times, you will be able to use a direct fit wiring harness to attach your brake controller with your vehicle's wiring harness if your vehicle came with a factory tow package. If you will send me the year, make, and model of your vehicle, I will be happy to see if you are able to use a direct fit wiring harness. With this information I can also provide a specific parts list and instructions for your vehicle.

I have attached two articles with brake controller information for you.

For a 7-way round to 7-way flat adapter you would want the part #HM47425. For a 7-way extension that would give you 7 feet of extension you would want the part #C56080. If by chance your tractor has separate taillight wiring, meaning that the turn…

I think you are going in the right direction. I would definitely replace the 14 gauge wire going to the trailer brake magnets with 10 gauge wire or larger. Usually larger than 10 gauge is hard to get into the trailer connector though. I would also…

Your 7-way did not also include a brake controller based on what you described. The blue wire you mentioned would have been wired up to the blue wire of the brake controller. Not every trailer that uses a 7-way also uses a brake controller which is…

On your 2018 Ford Focus I recommend the Stay-IN-Play DUO, part #SM99251, for a supplemental braking system. Mainly because no only does it work well (as does the InvisiBrake) it's a little easier to install. Our installers prefer it to any other…
