The factory harness to plug in a brake controller wiring harness on your 2007 Toyota Tacoma is located underneath and left of the steering column, taped to another harness near the emergency brake pedal. There will be a 5-pin connector that mates with the one on the adapter, # 3040-P. The harness does include an additional ground (white) wire that will need to be attached to a bare metal surface.

The P2 is a proportional controller that applies the trailer brakes in proportion to how much the vehicle is braking. It can be mounted in a 360 degree range in the direction of travel and works with electric and electric over hydraulic braking systems. I have included a link to the installation details and a link showing an installation on a similar truck.

Answer 5

Since you have an older trailer, the brakes could have possibly been switched from electric to hydraulic or the other way around. Even on newer campers, unless it is just purchased from the manufacturer, it would be just a guessing game for someone…
