2022 Dutch star trailer brake wiring

We just purchased a 2022 Dutch star 3736 and switching everything over from our 2014 Ventana. I can't find the trailer brake wiring under the dash. My 2006 Bounder Diesel and my 2014 Ventana were right there and I just plugged into the wire extension. This one I can't find anywhere? Did they move it or delete it? Thanks in advance!

I was in my coach when they did mine during the PDI. It was left of the steering column and up high. The tech was very contorted to get up there,

Thanks, that is where my last two were as well but I can't find this one at all. Might have to start disassembling some stuff to find it.

I was afraid of that! I think mine is the same. I Will disassemble and search to a point but hate to have to do it.

Go to home depot and purchase a wire chaser. We have to connect that to the wiring in the rear and it allows us to identify where the trailer wiring is located. Sometimes they leave it under the dash and sometimes they might leave it near the front run bay. Depending on how the installer felt that day.

Thank you! I just found it. I posted photos and location on the post above with the fellow with the Ventana doing the same as me. Hope he finds his too.

Yup, for reference sake, the brake controller wire plug (blue tip cover) on my Ventana was located on the right side of the steering column.
