The break away should be wired to your 12 volt battery, or to the positive wire in the 7 pin plug between the truck and the trailer battery. The systems that have the seperate smaller battery on the tongue frame, are for smaller, or older units, that (usually) don't have a 12 volt battery.
Follow the wires from the break away switch, and one will go to a positive power source and the other will connect to the blue wire going to the traile brake circuit. It doesn't matter which wire goes where, since they're interchangeable. When the pin is pulled, it just completes a simple 12 volt circuit.
