As you can see in this picture the purple wire is dark and is touching the main plug on the left with a Yellow butt connector.
The Blue stands out as it is light in color and the Black wire is right next to the Blue wire. Both have Yellow butt conectors as well

All the leads except brakes are there.. For the brakes you're going to need a brake controller... As far as the others.. Get a little voltmeter at the dollar store and figure out which lead is which.. It only takes a few minutes and you're smarter for having done it...I assume you mean actual trailer brakes and not brake lights..\


Good Luck.

@JPSpen.. LOL yeah I meant actual trailer brakes and not brake lights.
And I'm kinda embarrased.. I dont know how to use a volt meter. I never have
And where do I find the two wires i need other than trailer brake? where the plug is behind jumpseat?

Wiring for the trailer is underneath the truck.. If not then passenger side rear panel in the corner...

From Antichrist's post:

Black - Ground
Red/Orange - RH Tail
Green/Purple - Stop Lights
Green/White - RH Indicator
Green/Red - LH Indicator
Red/Yellow - Rear Fog
Red/Black - LH Tail

Single Pin Socket A:
Green/Brown - Reversing light

Single Pin Socket B: 20A fuse F6 in Satellite 2 (I think)
Purple/Brown - Power
