Default installing electric trailer brake controller

Hey everybody,
I'm installing an electric brake controller in my 93 B250 conversion van. The controller needs the feed from the brake light switch above the brake pedal which is hot when brakes are applied. I took a quick look at it before it got dark tonight and I see about 6 wires coming out of that area and I can't see enough of the switch to make a good guess as to which one it might be. If anyone has a service manual that indicates which wire that would be and could respond, I would definitely appreciate it.
Thanks!

I believe it's the white wire, but do double check it.

Thanks Alloro, I actually found it earlier today but have not had a chance to post yet. White wire with tan stripe on the female side of the 6 wire plug that goes to the brake pedal switch. This wire is cold until the pedal is pushed down and sends power to brake lights. Thanks anyway though!!
