2 Wires?

I am restoring a dual axle trailer for my fence buisness and have a wiring question.

I bought new electric brakes for my trailer and have no Idea where to connect the two wires that come off the magnet.

I have wired a new 7 pin lead for the trailer and assume one of the wires go to the brake control wire but what does the other wire connect to?

Thanks, Chad

put one to the ground on the 7 pin and the other to the blue or braking wire. i dont know about the same color thing. is there anyway at all to tell if one is different than the other. o would asume if not then to look at both wires coming out of the magnet...then take the same wire in the same position on the magnets and designate it either ground or power. hopefully someone else will chime in.

One is your brake hot and the other is the ground. It does not matter which one you use.
