Expert Reply:
First step would be to choose a brake controller. I recommend the Tekonsha Prodigy P2, part # 90885. You'll also need a 4 pole to 7-way adapter, part # 37185 and a brake controller install kit, part # ETBC7.
The brake controller would install under the dash, to the right of the steering column. A brake controller wiring adapter # 3025-P would also be needed.
I have linked you to a video that will walk you through the entire process from beginning to end, including what exactly to do with the wires you located under the hood.
