electronic brake control installation-2003 Allegro Bay

[mrarmyaustin]

I am installing a Tekonsha brake control on a 2003 Tiffin Allegro Bay on a Workhorse W22 (Chevrolet) chassis and I can not find the brake (blue) wire up front. I can find it at the back of the chassis with the rest of the harness wiring. There is a blue and black wire (10 gauge) and a green wire (16-18 gauge) on a seperate harness plug.
Is anyone familiar with the location of the (up front) wiring harness?

Welcome to the forum Mikle and Happy New Year. Have you found the brake light switch? Not familar with the workhorse but most Chevys are located on the brake pedal arm. On the MH it might be in one of the hydraulic lines off the master cyl. Maybe some that have installed one can help out.

Nash i have not installed a brake controller on a MH ,, most that i have done have the contoller already there ,, all i had to do was wire up the trailer pigtail ,, but u are right ,, the blue wire should be off the brake light switch ,, and as u posted ,, they put them everyhere ,, but most are on the pedal ,, have not seen one on the master in yr's ,, but they maybe going back that way ,, :approve:

I know where the brake light switch is. It is mounted in front of the brake pedal at the top. I know this because it also controls the cruise control "disconnect" which did not work when I purchased the motorhome as the plunger switch was out of adjustment. The wiring from the brake light switch operates the brake lights on the tow dolly. I am trying to locate the "blue" brake controller wire that actually controls the electric brakes on the tow dolly.
