Just bought a camper. The braking system the guy gave me was for a ford. (Husky Journey HD) I have a Nissan titan (2005). I have been trying to match the wires, but no success. Could you tell me what color...

OK on the truck side, brake controller harness wire colors are:

RED = +12V (Hot at all times, even with truck off)
RED/GREEN = Stop light (Hot when brake pedal is depressed)
BLACK = Ground
BROWN/WHITE = Brake out (variable voltage to trailer brakes, 2v-12v)
RED/BLUE = Dimmer (not used on most controllers)

On the controller side (these are pretty much universal):

BLACK = +12v
RED = Stop light
WHITE = Ground
BLUE = Brake out
