What exactly are you looking to do, or what is the problem?
Here is a link to Winnebago Wiring Diagrams if that helps!

samsauto01-

Here's a link to a Google search of iRV2 posts with the terms "Spartan" and "brake controller" in them. This post and the thread it's in may be a place to start.

My 03 UA w/02 Spartan Chassis ...bought it new ... is wired for tow lighting, but I am unaware of any brake controller wiring. I would recommend an email to Winnebago Owner Relations at [email protected]. Include the s/n of your coach and they can tell you if there was any original brake controller wiring.

The wire is a blue wire and is part of the chassis and is located tucked near the steering column. But the rear wire to it is not connected to the plug if it was like mine. But if you trace the wire back about 6 feet you will see a area that has many splices and wrapped up and the blue wire is there. Just extend it that is what I had to do to mine.

It took a bit of intuitive hunting but I think what you need is on Sheet 2:

Happy trails,

The trailer wiring harness is probably installed by Winnebago. Remember, Winnebago did all the lights (brake, head, clearance and trailer 7 pin). Look for a bundle of wires near the base of the steering column.

Look for a six pin connector (three over three only 5 wires) marked trailer brake controller.
