redarc tow pro elite wiring advice

[consoleman]

I decided to buy a redarc tow pro elite for my 15' chevy 1500. I was originally going to go with another brand that had a plug and play wiring adapter so that i didnt have to deal with the one that came with the truck but i read thats not possible with the one. 

 

Can someone help me through the electrical part of this? Are the listed items below correct? Also can someone please clarify what to do about the 20 amp fuse/30A breaker/ positive battery terminal?

 

Also, should i use electrical tape or shrink tubes?

 

Truck oem wiring harness

Dk blue - brakes out

Red/grn - battery

Wht/blu - brake signal

Blk - brakes ground

 

Redarc brake controller

Blue - to 12v trailer brakes (goes to dark blue?)

Red - to 12v trailer brakes light trigger (goes to wht/blu?)

Blk - 20 amp fuse or 30A circuit breaker THEN to battery positive terminal? What? Lol (red/green?)

White - ground (goes to blk?)

Thanks Joe! That gets me out of a bind.

 

I want to install this right above the light knob like the picture attached. The drilling instruction recommend at pilot hole first (maybe a 1/8"). Did anyone use a center punch first? Just worried the drill may slide around it being plastic.
