1st post but returned to the place that led me to the info of where to look. Found this site on a Google Search.
For starters I have a 2010 Liberty Sport, just bought it in Feb. I have a 2 place 5 x 14 ATV trailer with optional brakes, Liberty came with factory installed Tow Package. After a little searching found where to look for the trailer brake wire. It's under the left front cowl right at the corner of the floor mat.
In my case it wasn't a green wire but a. Confirmed this by looking at the 7 pin plug and checking with a test light. Wouldn't have thought this is on a hinge, folds down nice. I got a controller that is removable, and with this flip down, the ribs hold the harness and plug nice when not hooked up. Again confirming with a test light I tapped into the wire (yellow arrow).
A nice feature on this Jeep is they have 2 ground studs right there at the main harness where trailer brake wire goes into. A ring terminal on the ground wire and onto the stud. Another nice feature is the empty firewall pass through (no picture) located to the right of master cylinder under hood, or upper left corner underneath the drivers side floor. Wire with 20 amp relay fuse from the fuse box stud. I soldered/ shrink tube/ silicone taped splices except brake light switch splice.
Used 1 of those blue quick clamp splices., after checking where I could mount this thing, this seemed the best place. All said and done, I hooked up to the trailer and everything worked.
2008 Jeep Liberty Trailer Brake Controller Install (Other Years May Be the Same or Similar) 'Standard' Wire colors to the controller (Tekonsha and others): - Black, Battery Positive to controller - White, Negative Ground for Controller - Blue, Brake feed from controller to Trailer plug at back of truck - Red, tap into truck Brake light switch signal to tell controller to apply brakes Remember, the above colors are just a GUIDE. Your colors may be different, read the instructions! Under the dash, we tapped into brake light switch. We found the white wire with Green tracer came on when we pressed the brake pedal. Also, with a simple twist of the brake switch, it comes loose from the mount and will drop down, making it much easier to reach! We found a easy spot on the firewall and grounded the ground wire under the dash with a sheet metal screw. The picture on the left above, shows the wire connected, the picture in the center shows the brake switch removed and hanging.

The picture on the left also shows the rubber grommet hole in the firewall we used to pass the wire through. We tapped into the WHITE wire with the Green tracer for the brake light signal (to the red wire on the controller) Test to be sure, it must power on when the brake pedal is pushed. Your color may be different! Battery feed was taken from the battery (under the hood) The Ground wire (white) was grounded under the dash We used red jacketed 2 conductor wire for the brake wire and power feed. One wire feeds power to the controller, and to the back of the truck. The yellow block wire connector is a HD 'Scotch Lock' side tap connector.
One wire (white wire in this picture) is the brake power from the controller to the back of the truck. Under the hood, we installed a 20 amp Circuit Breaker, to power the controller (running the power into the cabin, though the firewall grommet), and to the rear of the truck to power the T One' Tail light converter. This same power wire was also ran to the 7 way trailer plug we installed as a 12 Volt AUX terminal. At the rear of the Truck, In this install, we used the standard 'T ONE connector' to power the lights. This type of trailer light converter requires power from the battery, so we used the same power wire (as shown above that powers the brake controller) to power the converter. The instructions that come with the converter are pretty easy to understand, and hooking up the tail light wires was very simple.
Using a 10mm socket, we took out both tail lights, plugged in the converter to each side, and hooked the power to the converter. All wires passed down under the truck and were run outside, so you do not even pull any panels out of the inside!

The Trailer Brake Control and Additional Plug-In Wiring Harness. Photo by Adam Wright 2010 Using a trailer is quickly becoming part of the American lifestyle. Whether you're towing the boat, the jet-skis, or the utility trailer, towing is here to stay.
Trailer Brake Controller
But if you're going to be part of the population that is pulling a trailer make sure you put safety first. Many new cars and trucks come with towing packages, but most do not come with a Trailer Brake Control. The Trailer Brake Control is a module that controls the electric brakes found on many trailers. You will need to if you want those brakes to help you stop your vehicle and the trailer you are towing. If your vehicle has a Towing Package, installing the Brake Control is a pretty simple affair, you just have to buy an additional wiring harness that plugs directly into the plug your car came with. If your vehicle does not have a towing package it can be a lot more complicated because you have to splice in the wiring yourself, which is much more complicated than the plug-in.
Looking for the Electric Brake Controller in your vehicle. Photo by Adam Wright 2010 This Brake Control installation was performed on a Nissan Titan Pickup, but your application will be similar.
It'll probably be a lot similar on a true truck like a Chevy or a Ford, but that's another conversation for another day. The first step is to look under your dash to see if you see a plug labeled 'Electric Brake Controller.' The plug may be right there in front of your face as you stick your head under the steering wheel, or you may have to search around a little bit with your work light shining upside down to find it. Don't reach under the dashboard and start pulling wiring harnesses all over the place, but you don't have to be afraid to touch things under there, either. You may have to do some slight rooting around to find the existing plug. It will be similar to the one you see pictured above, but may or may not be the same color.

If this is the case you will have an easy time of it. Installing The Brake Control Module Under The Dash. Photo by Adam Wright 2010. Once the wiring is done all that is left to do is to install the Brake Control Module under your dash. The Brake Controller comes with a bracket that screws in. You will want to install the Brake Controller in a spot where you can access it easily but where it will not be in the way.
Don't worry about the service guy needing to reach what's behind it, they are easily removable from their brackets making service a non-issue down the road. Once installed you can determine how much braking you want on the trailer by setting the Brake Control Module. Setting the Module will depend on your comfort level and what it is you're towing. Consult your trailer's information and the weight of what you're towing to decide.
