Doesn't matter which wire(s).......

The break away switch is just a switch in the positive power line to brakes.

12V DC power from trailer battery goes to switch and then to trailer brakes when switch is activated by pulling the pin.

One wire to blue wire on switch the other wire to the other blue wire on switch.
