Installing Brake Controller in 2018 Chevy Colorado
Question:
There was a video mentioned showing how to install the controller in my 2018 Colorado but didn’t see the video. He led YouTube and didn’t see it there either. I need to watch this video. Where can I find it?

On this page if you there is a heading titled "Featured Help Information" (most likely have to scroll down below part links), that will have the install video for a brake controller in a 2018 Chevy Colorado that I mentioned in the answer page you found.
Your 2018 Chevy Colorado has the brake controller wiring ran under the dash of the truck but there isn't an adapter that uses a connector. Reason being there's only 4 blunt cut wires under your vehicle dash for the brake controller wiring and not a connector of any type. To install the Hayes controller part # HA81760 you need the Hayes universal connector part # HA81789-HBC to run to those wires.
I attached an install video that shows a similar brake controller installed in a 2018 Chevy Colorado for you to check out. It will show the entire process and where to find the wires etc. The panel is right behind the emergency brake pedal.
