Install Question...

I am installing a Jordan Ultima 2020 Brake controller and have the physical installation done. I question is regarding the electrical.
The Jordan has 3 wires and the control cable coming from the box, Red - 12 vdc; Blue - Brake; and Green - Ground; the control cable physically attaches to the brake arm.

But the Dodge connector/pigtail supplied with the tow package has 4 wires, marked 12 vdc; trailer brake; ground; and one marked "trailer sense input".

Can anyone shed some light on the reason / need for the "trailer sense input" lead? I am just about done and would like to wrap this thing up.

Thanks for your help, I'll show my version of the install once I'm done.

Erick
