Wouldn't you just run your own wires to it like with any other vehicle? they are universal.

I finally got some pictures of stuff I was meaning to ask about when I first made this thread but was to busy.

Found this while tracing it. What is it so I know what i have to replace. Also it's dry and brake light isn't on so it shouldn't be brake line unless its a about to fail brakeline.

Unknown wire coming off battery and going along the length of the truck into what appears to be the rear 7 pin trailer connector. Is this a previous owners horrible job or is it something factory i'm mis-tracing.

that ain't factory. they probably are running constant power to the trailer connector. what pin/ wire colour on the connector is it spliced into?

Can't tell it's in a literal ***sack(No seriously it even looks like one) of a electrical tape mess so they're hidden. When it warms up next year i'll probally undo it and do it properly as it looks to be a horrible 4>7 pin job.
