Default Help installing brake controller

Hi folks. I'm going to be installing an electronic brake controller and I'm trying to locate the factory plug that is used to plug the controller into. I see that under the dash to the right of the steering column there is a plug and coming off it are two other plugs. These are all female white plastic plugs and I think one of them is for the brake controller. Does anyone know for sure?

That should be it, driver's side, under steering wheel... near OBDII. Did you order the pigtail? They usually have them on Ebay and both the Frontier and Titan use the same one. Getting the Prodigy?

Thanks Squid, but I'm not sure what an OBDII is? I'm getting a Tru-Control by Hensley. I've had the Prodigy when I towed a much larger trailer and I've used the Tru-Control. In my opinion (after towing trailers for 15 years) I think the Tru-Control is a superior product. But as Sam Malone once said "that's just one guy's opinion". You can check it out at Tru-Control Brake Controller

Hey Ambenisar,
Did you get your controller installed? I went to the Nissan dealership and got a pigtail for the Frontier and it plugged right into to plug just above the brake pedal next to the OBDII (two plugs there, only one will accept the pigtail, so no worries about mixing it up).
The Suzuki/Nissan pigtail has 5 wires, the brake controller I purchased (drawtite) only had 4 wires, so one was not used on the pigtail. It was the "ACC" wire I believe. I wrote down how the wiring was connected somewhere if you need it.

What are you towing with yours? I'm towing a Trail-cruiser 21RBH.

Yeah, got everything hooked up. Right now I'm just towing my Bayliner 175, but we're looking at travel trailers again. I like the Passport and Bullets buy I recently saw the Evergreen line and really liked what I saw.
