How To Wire a Brake Controller on a 2005 Safari Simba Motorhome
Question:
Where do I find the wiring on my 2005 Safari Simba workhorse chassis?

Expert Reply:
It sounds like you are trying to install the Tekonsha Primus IQ Trailer Brake Controller part # TK90160 on a 2005 Safari Simba Motorhome. If that is the case then I do have an option for you but I unfortunately am not aware of any pre-wired brake controller circuits on your Workhorse W-22 Chassis. If there are any then there should be a bundle of wires under the dash but again I do not think these will be present therefore your only option is a hardwire install.
The hardwire install is not difficult at all but you will need a few things, the Wiring Kit for 2, 4, 6, and 8 Brake Electric Trailer Brake Controllers part # 5506 and the Deka Jacketed 2 Wire, 10 Gauge, Brake Wire part # 10-2-1 (per foot). The jacketed wire will run from the 7-way up to the brake controller/battery and what you have left you can then use to hook the brake controller up to the battery. The circuit breakers and wiring connectors are all included for you.
I have attached a help article on this process for you as well.
