Expert Reply:
On the Hayes Brake Controller part # 81741B the blue wire is the brake output signal which would go to your dark blue wire on your 2011 Chevy Tahoe.
The red wire is the brake switch wire which will go to the light blue/white wire of your Tahoe.
The black wire is the 12 volt power wire which will run to the red/black battery.
The white wire is the ground wire which will run to the white wire on your Tahoe.
I also attached an FAQ on installing brake controller in GM SUV's like your Tahoe. Check out the video I attached also that shows how all of this is done.
