A brake controller will have to be hardwired into your 2014 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited because there isn't a brake controller harness made for it. Since you already have the brake controller you will just need installation kit # 5506.
The brake controller white wire connects to the negative battery terminal. The black wire will connect to the positive battery terminal via a 30-amp circuit breaker included with the # 5506 kit. The blue wire will connect to the back of the 7-Way connector in the 7 o'clock position. The red wire will attach to the cold side of the brake switch.
The brake switch is located above the brake pedal, often attach to the pedal arm. It is likely a white/brown wire but use a circuit tester such as # PTW2993 to test the wires. You need the one that only has power when the brake pedal is pressed and not when the head lights or turn signals are on.
