Installing an Electronic Brake Controller on a 1999 Dodge Dakota

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

Expert Reply:

Congratulations on your new tent trailer and brake controller! If you have the factory 7-way plug on the back of your vehicle, you can easily install the brake controller with the Dodge adapter, part 20261. Follow the link below for installation instructions. If you do not have the factory 7-way on the back of your pickup, you can use the Brake Controller 7 and 4-way Installation kit, part ETBC7. I have included a link to those instructions too.
