One last question that just came up. I see that BOTH wires on the NEW brakes are black colored. Since they are both the same, I assume this means there is no issue with polarity ?
BOTH of the wires on the original are white, but again don't appear to have any polarity issue.
Can anyone confirm or offer suggestions for insuring they are connected correctly for best performance.

I am replacing the brakes on my 35' Fifth wheel this year.
I have purchased the entire 12" X 2" 7K, brakes including backing plate.
My question is what is the best way to make the electrical connections so that they do not come loose ? I don't know if I should solder and then use shrink tape, or solder and use wire nuts, or something else. Primarily keep the connection solid, dry, and prevent accidental grounding or shorts.
Anyone that has other suggestions or things to watch out for would be appreciated. I have good mechanical experience, and have replaced brakes before, just never electric.

Use heat shrink crimp butt connectors. Get the right size, step down if needed. These will make a permanent waterproof connection good in all conditions.

They make crimp connectors with sealer in them. Or solder and use heat shrink that has sealer in it. No wire nuts!!!!! OEM sometimes uses crimp connects where both wires go in the same end. Should be ones that have sealer in them.
My first choice on our baja bugs is bare wire crimps with a quality crimper and my second choice is to make a solder join and in each case I use dual wall adhesive shrink tube works so far for me.
