installing electric brake controller in RA 2003 Rodeo

Assuming the RA Rodeo is similar to the Holden Colorado for access, you should find an access route via the front passenger side wheel arch.

Remove the plastic inner splash guard on the inside of the LH wheel arch and you should see a largish rubber grommet which will lead to access to the cab area behind the left side kick panel.
Run both a positive and negative heavy duty twin-core wire from the battery, with the positive wire protected by an in-line fuse of around 25 amps, or whatever is recommended in the HR installation instructions.
The area behind the kick panel is also a good point to pick up a feed from the brake circuit.
Remove one or both of the rear light assemblies to confirm the colour coded wire running to the brake lights and identify this cable in the loom behind the kick panel.
Despite the negative response I received on a previous post on this issue, the use of a displacement style connector to join the brake sensing wire from the controller to the brake wire is an effective and simple method which will not damage the existing wire in the loom.

Perhaps there are both good and bad displacement type connectors on the market but I have not experienced any problems with ones I have used.
