The wires of the Autowbrake Electric Brake Controller # 3430001 are 14 gauge and were intended to be wired directly too a junction box where from there would run to all of the circuits of the trailer wiring. I would only run 18 gauge to lights and for the brake output and 12 volt accessory circuit and ground use 10 gauge.
