At this time (September 2018) we don't have a picture of the blunt cut wires that a brake controller like the Prodigy P3 # 90195 connect to but I can tell you where they are located.

The wires will be under the left instrument panel, behind your front door sill garnish moulding trim. These are part of your instrument panel wiring harness. If you are installing the P3 (or any of the other controllers on our site) then you will need to connect the following wires to the following functions:

Blue - 7-Way Output to Trailer
Black - 12V Power
White - Ground
Red - COLD Side of Stop Light Switch (only gets hot when brake pedal is pressed)
