Electronic Engine Brake Module Install - Halifax, Nova Scotia

Glennifer getting braking assistance
We have travelled a ton of miles over the past 10 years in this truck and trailer, but never have we encountered the steep up and down grades (up to 17%) of Quebec and the East Coast. Back home driving through the mountains there are long steep ups and downs but out here it seems to be straight up or straight down very frequently. 

That being said, while back in Alberta Chris ordered an 'Electronic Engine Brake Module', which is basically a computer that manages a vehicle's anti-lock braking system. Our truck (Glennifer) is about to have help with braking for the remainder of our trip. Hopefully no more burning brakes smell...scary at times. 

Sadly the manual is out of date and the package is missing wires that were to be included...'Where is the Violet coloured wire'?? What was supposed to be a morning job turns into an all day affair so we end up spending another night at Bay Self Storage in Halifax. 

Missing violet wire??
