Wire for brake monitor

Hello all. First post as I am new owner.
Can someone tell me if I might have a spare wire from dash to rear to use for LED from Breakmaster on Toad?
Or should I just run a new wire and not bother with the hunt.
Coach is a 2003 Winsor 36PBD.
Look forward to getting to know some of you.
Thanks
Terry

Our coach had a spare wire going to the trailer brake controller connector. The wire was in the factory installed harness.

Monaco usually provides spare wires. Look under the D/S panel with the Allison control. There should be some unterminated wires there. I had to attach a cable tracer to one of them in order to locate the other end. The other end should be in engine compartment hidden in a harness near the front of compartment on the passenger side. Monaco was not very consistent is where the put the spares.
If that doesn't work there is usually an empty or almost empty wiring conduit from front to rear. The conduits start behind front wheels high up and go above the rear wheels somewhere. I needed a #8 wire (spares were #14 and #12) back to trailer connector and ran a flex conduit from front to rear.

I have a wireless one. The transmitter hocks to the toad brake wire and the other receiver plugs into 12v and turns red when the toad brakes come on. Made by Blue Ox.
