Trying to install Redarc brake controller on my 2019 Ranger. Truck has factory tow with hitch and seven pin connector in rear. I found three of four wires under dash. White, green/black and yellow/orange were all tied together.

In reading the sticky, author says his white/violet was hidden off by itself. Been cutting off tape and looking for half and hour and I can't find it.

I DO have a violet/green wire that exists fire wall right with the other three wires but it disappears up behind dash and isn't loose.

Any idea on where to find this wire? I'm about to give up and return the controller for one that just plugs in to seven pin connector.

Found it!!! Had to cut the tie wrap holding the connectors for engine diagnostic port. White/violet wire was hidden behind it and was looped on itself and wrapped in black electrical tape.

It's there...do not use the violet/green. When I wired my controller, had to really search for it.
If I remember, the brake wires were held to the big wire bundle by a piece of blue tape, but one of the wires, I think the violet/white was separate from the other 3 wires.
I used a Tskonsha controller, but it uses the same 4 wires, so I know their there.
