• Where Does a Brake Controller Plug Into on a 2006 Dodge Ram 1500 Big Horn
  On the 2006 Dodge Ram 1500 that came with either a factory 4-Way or 7-Way trailer connector the receptacle to plug in a brake controller with a harness such as # 3020-P will either be on top of or along the side of a white rectangular box back along the firewall to the right of the emergency brake pedal. I have included a picture showing this for you. The factory plug is blue. If your Ram did not come with a factory installed 4- or 7-Way trailer wiring harness then it is possible that...

• Should SUREHOOF Ribbed Rubber Mat Be Used With Ribs Horizontal Or Vertical
  There are no installation instructions for the Ribbed Rubber Trailer Mat, part # 3622RM. As far as traction, it would make sense that installing the mat with the ribs running horizontal would provide a bit more traction than vertical, but I have not heard anyone mention traction issues with the mats installed. If the ribs are running vertical on a ramp it would allow water or snow to run off the mat which could help. This mat measures 36-inches wide and 22-feet long, so you can cut the...

• Recommended Brake Controller for a 2005 Dodge 1500
  Hey Abby thanks for all the questions! The first thing I need to mention is you will only have a port to plug in a brake controller if your 2005 Dodge 1500 came with either a 4-way connector or a 7-way connector from the factory. If yours has an after market trailer connector you'll need to manually wire a brake controller. The brake controller port on a 2005 Dodge 1500 is located by the left side firewall. I have attached a picture below along with an installation video so you can find...

• Recommended 7-Way Wiring and Brake Controller Installation on 1996 Dodge Ram 2500 with 4-Way Wiring
  For your 1996 Dodge Ram 2500, I recommend the Tekonsha Prodigy P3 # 90195 for your brake controller which will connect to the factory harness you mentioned using wiring harness # 3020-P. This brake controller is easy to use with its presets and LCD screen. For the 7-way, you will then use # ETBC7 and splice into the factory wiring located under the driver's side wheel well. This will give your the wiring functions needed to complete your 7-way and give you the brake controller functionality.

• Factory Port Location for a Brake Controller Wiring Harness on a 1999 Dodge Ram
  I show that the Tekonsha Plug-In Brake Control Wiring Adapter, Dodge, item # 3020-P, and it works on all Dodge Ram Pickups from 1995 - 2009. You should be able to use the adapter that is connected to your Tekonsha Voyager brake controller, item # 39510, on your 1999 Dodge Ram. I believe you are looking at the wrong connector under the dash. You will need to look under the dash, near the emergency brake pedal for a white or blue connector that is above a white junction box. This is where...

• Cost-Effective Quality Brake Controller for a 2007 Dodge Ram 1500
  For a brake controller I highly recommend going with a Tekonsha brand.

The Prodigy P3 # 90195 is definitely the best option to go with as it has been created with an easy-to-read LCD screen that displays a lot of information for you.

• Brake Controller Recommendation for 2008 Sterling Bullet (Dodge Ram) Truck
  With the # 3020-P, wiring harness, any of the Tekonsha brake controllers will plug right into the factory harness. The Tekonsha # 39523 PowerTrac brake controller would work for you, but I'd urge you to go with a proportional controller like the Tekonsha Primus, part # TK90160. A proportional controller will sense how quickly the tow vehicle is slowing, and will send the appropriate amount of power to the trailer brakes so the trailer and tow vehicle stop at the same rate for safer, more...

• Parts Needed to add Electric Trailer Brakes to 1990 Skamper 190c
  You are able to install an electric braking system on your trailer. The parts needed are going to be determined by the axle that your camper is equipped with. From what I can tell from your picture, it looks like this is a 4 lug axle which is going to likely mean you have a 2,000-lb axle with a 1-3/4" diameter. In order to verify that is correct you will need to confirm that the Inner and Outer bearings on your trailer wheel hubs match L44649. You can verify this once you've taken it apart...

• What is the Correct Wiring Adapter for Prodigy P3 Brake Controller on 2008 Dodge Ram 1500?
  Thank you for the photo it was very helpful; you are correct that the wiring harness # 3020-P is not what is shown in your photo though I believe you are looking at the wrong connector. Take a look at the other photo that I've attached which shows what the connector should look like in your 2008 Dodge Ram. I've also linked a video to a brake controller installation on an '08 Ram and at the 2:30 mark it will show you where that connector can be found, which is to the far left next to a white...

• Where Is Brake Controller Port Located On 2001 Dodge Durango For Installation Of Adapter, # 3020-P
  If your 2001 Dodge Durango has the factory installed 7-way trailer connector on the rear bumper, the port for the brake controller should be located near the emergency brake pedal. I am sending a video link of a brake controller installation on a 2003 Dodge Dakota and at the 45 second mark it shows the location of the brake controller port under the dash that should help you locate the port on your vehicle. You can check the port with a circuit tester to see if one of the pins supplies...

• Parts Needed to Tow a Trailer with Brakes Using a 2006 Dodge Durango
  I was not able to locate an exact towing capacity for your 2006 Dodge Durango online but I do have a way for you to determine this. What you are going to want to do is open the driver door and look for a white info tag which will display both the gross vehicle weight rating (GVWR) and the gross combined weight rating (GCWR). If you take the GVWR and subtract that from the GCWR that will then give you your maximum towing capacity. Assuming the gross trailer weight (GTW) is within the maximum...

• Parts Needed To Install Redarc Tow Pro Liberty Trailer Brake Controller On a 2005 Dodge Dakota

This will give you a plug and play connection without having to splice any wiring. If you do not have the factory wiring we have a 4-Way # 55323, 7-Way # ETBC7 and the Redarc # RED52VR. This will give you all the wiring you need for a hardwire install.

• Installing Trailer Brake Controller on 2002 Dodge Ram Van 1500
  Based on my research the 2002 Dodge Ram Van 1500 doesn't actually come equipped with a factory brake controller port behind the dash. The Tekonsha Plug-In Harness # 3020-P that you referenced is for the 1995-2009 Dodge Ram Pickup and isn't compatible with the Van models. On your Ram 1500 Van the Prodigy P3 Brake Controller # 90195 will need to be hardwired in. I'm not sure what the van is already equipped with but if you don't have an existing 7-Way connector this will need to be added...

• Are Brake Controller Wiring Harnesses for the 2004 Dodge Ram 2500 Universal
  Hello Ed. Brake controller wiring harness # 3020-P for the 2004 Dodge Ram will work with Tekonsha, Draw-Tite, and Reese brake controllers that have a plug and not just loose wires. Curt harness # C51332 will work only with Curt brake controllers. And as far as I could ascertain Hayes harness # HA81782-HBC only works with Hayes controllers. All of these harnesses are also only for controllers that have the plug on them and not just loose wires. Another option, for controllers that do...

• Locating the OEM Wiring Warness to Plug in a Brake Controller on a 2004 Dodge Ram 1500
  The port you describe does not seem like what you need. You are going to be looking up under the dash for the 4 pin connector wiring harness. It is usually blue but this is not always the case, it can sometimes be gray. On your 2004 Dodge Ram it will be somewhere under the dash next to the e-brake pedal. The connector will attach to a wiring harness like the Tekonsha Wire Replacement for Dodge Vehicles, item # 3020-P, if your brake controller is a Tekonsha product like the P-3, item #...

• Quality Trailer Brake Control for a 2006 Dodge Durango
  You are thinking of Tekonsha brake controllers. They are pretty much the leader in the brake controller industry. The Curt controllers would not be my first choice. I prefer Tekonsha controllers because they have a long proven track record of quality and performance. The Curt controllers are a less expensive option but they are new to the brake controller industry. They did have some performance issues initially but they are improving. I recommend the Tekonsha P2, # 90885. This is a proportional...

• Brake Controller Recommendation for 2009 Dodge Ram 2500
  For a brake controller for your 2009 Dodge Ram 2500 I would recommend the Prodigy P3 Brake Controller part # 90195. This is our best selling brake controller because of how well it works and how easy it is to setup. This is a proportional brake controller that senses the amount of braking the tow vehicle is applying and applies a proportionate amount to the trailer brakes. This will be the last brake controller you buy. It can easily be transferred to future vehicles as well. All you need...

• 7-Way Trailer Connector and Parts Needed to Install a Brake Controller on a 2003 Dodge Ram
  We do have a 7-Way that you can install on your 2003 Dodge Ram that did not come with a factory 7-Way. You will need to use # 37185. There will be a little hardwiring you will need to do to complete the installation. On the truck the brake (blue) wire does not run all the way back to the 4-pole at the rear; it stops at the connector that is located under the drivers side wheel well. In order to finalize the installation you must splice into this wire and continue it back to the plug. You...

• How to Install a Brake Controller in a 1996 Dodge Ram
  If your 1996 Dodge Ram has the factory 7-way connector at the rear of the vehicle, then all of the wires for the brake controller have been run. You will just need a brake controller wiring adapter. I recommend using part # 3020-P and cutting off the black plug. This adapter plugs into the brake controller plug under the dash, to the left of the steering column taped to another harness near the emergency brake pedal. The four pigtail wires on the other end will be butt-connected to the...

• How To Determine if 2002 Dodge Ram With Mopar Hitch Has Factory 7-Way Trailer Connector
  The Tekonsha Plug-In Wiring Adapter, part # 3020-P, you have referenced is for connecting a Tekonsha brake controller to the brake controller port located in the cab of your vehicle. It will be used if you have the factory 4-Way or the factory 7-Way on the rear of your vehicle. If your Ram did not come with a factory trailer connector the # 3020-P wiring adapter is not needed since there will not be a factory brake controller port under the dash. You would have to hardwire the brake controller...

• Installation of Tekonsha Electric Brake Controller in a 2003 Dodge Dakota
  We don't have a video of a Tekonsha brake controller, like the P3 # 90195, being installed into a 2003 Dodge Dakota like yours but I've linked one of a 2009. This install also uses our # ETBC7 kit which you'll also need if your truck doesn't have a 7-way trailer connector already. If your truck has a factory 7-way then there is a wiring harness # 3020-P that plugs in under the dash. If you don't have the factory 7-way the controller will be hardwired in. The # ETBC7 kit includes everything...
