Electric Brake Controller wiring

I'm switching from my old broken Blue Ox Patriot and installing an Invisabrake. Install going well. I'm trying to connect a monitoring line to dash of motorhome. There is a Blue wire at trailer or tow plug on rear of coach that runs up to the dash for an electric brake controller. Any suggestion on where to locate or how to identify which wiring bundle I can locate that blue wire?

If its like my Discovery on a Freightliner chassis, the wires are close to the steering column, and the plug is labeled. This is a picture of what mine looked like.

you might also find it tucked in behind the dashboard.

Thanks, Bigd9, I found the bundle labeled Electric brake controller. Hahaha, No Blue wire.
All instructions I have seen said locate blue wire that runs from tow plug to dash. Found blue wire at tow plug and even connected a 12V jumper to test wires for power at bundle in dash. no luck. Will continue search!

I see the blue wire on pin # 4 at the back of the coach trailer plug. It's labeled Trailer Brakes. I would assume that wire goes up onto the plug under the dash. It could go to the Freightliner fuse box located under the up front center swing out console to a 30 amp fuse marked "TRLR BRAKE POWER 30 AMP" and then from that fuse go to the plug under the dash. Ck to make sure there is a fuse in that slot. THere has bound to be a connection between the rear trailer plug and the brake controller that is under the dash board.

Anyway, I'm running out of ideas. Good Luck nd please let us know if you find it.
