Ground Wire Questions for ETBC7 Install on 2015 Toyota Sienna
Question:
Hi, question about ETBC7 for my 2015 Sienna SE. Watched your video, does green ground wire included in the ETBC7? Also which should I put ground wire, fender or brake pedal arm?

In the install video of the # ETBC7 that you referenced (also attached to this page) our installer grabbed extra green wire to use as a ground since there already were two white wires. This wire is not included but it's not a necessary step.
The 7-way requires a ground which is why there's a connection made near the fender as it grounds to the chassis and the brake controller itself needs a ground which is why you saw him ground another wire to the brake pedal arm.
