Question:

I have a Valley Blackbird brake controller and I am looking for the cable to fit a 2014 Ram 1500. Do they make one?

The 2014 Ram 1500 has "Powernet" which utilizes multiplex wiring and there are only a few brake controllers that are confirmed to work with these trucks. The Valley Blackbird brake controller is not one of them so in this case you would need a new brake controller. I recommend taking a look at the Tekonsha Prodigy P3 Trailer Brake Controller, # 90195. This is one of our best selling brake controllers because it is easy to set up and works great.

For a quick and simple installation, use the Tekonsha Custom Wiring Adapter, # 3023-P. No cutting or splicing required, just plug one end of the adapter into the brake controller and plug the other end into the built-in ports beneath the dash and you are ready to go.

As for Valley, the company went out of business a few years back so cables/wiring adapters are not being made for their brake controllers.
