You are going to want to find the Center High Mount Stop Light wire for the brake light on the truck cap on your 2013 Chevy Silverado. This wire is bundled with the brake controller wiring located under the dash, and held together with tape and a tag that lists the wiring functions. The wire you are looking for is orange and will have a tag on it labeled CHMSL.
