Lone Cowboy might like to know that my 2003 C5500 (chevrolet) took me three days to hook up the electric brake controler. I refused to do what the outfitters suggested, rig it in, run a new wire from the dash to the trailer plug. I wanted it to be wired right using the factory set up.

I was able to do that after I hand traced the brake wire from the factory trailer plug at the back to the firewall. Then I had to tear apart the dash to trace back the wiring again, to the firewall. It wasn't until I cut apart the wiring loom at the firewall that I discovered the wire from the back was folded back. This was also true of the wire from the dash. To make it work I had to splice these two wires together.

We don't own a foreign car at our house. A friend of mine has two, they're Dodge trucks, assembled in Mexico.
