Installing an Electronic Brake Controller on a 1999 Dodge Dakota

Brake Controller Installation: Starting from Scratch

Question:

I have recently purchased a tent trailer with electric brakes. The trailer brake mechanism came with it without instructions. It is a draw-tite brake controller code 5100 and I want to hook it up to my 99 Dodge Dakota. Can you send me the info that would explain the procedures as well as any other parts that may be needed. I am a licenced technician but have never installed one that does not require tapping into the brake lines. Thanks
