You should have a single plug under the driver side dash on your 2015 Ram 1500 that you will simply need to connect an Adapter, like part # 3024-P, to for installing a Brake Controller, like the Tekonsha Prodigy P3 # 90195. If you check out the attached video of this setup being installed on a 2015 Ram 2500 (starting at the 1:56 mark) you will see where our installer finds the plug.
If you do not have the connector under the dash (which you should), then you will need to do some splicing. With the pigtail that comes with the Prodigy P3 you will need to connect the White wire to Ground, the Blue wire to your 7-Way connector, the Black wire to your Battery, and the Red wire to the COLD side of your Stop Light Switch. I have attached a picture demonstrating the setup for you.
If you happen to not have any connector for your trailer at the rear of your 1500 then you will want to install the Tekonsha Wiring Kit # 119250KIT for a 4-Way connector. You can then install the Universal Wiring Kit # ETBC7 which will give you all of the wiring and connectors that you need for a fully functioning 7-Way on your 1500.
I have attached some sample installation videos for you to follow, but you will need to make sure that you are testing any of the wiring that you haven't installed with the Circuit Tester from the Tekonsha wiring kit to ensure that you are tapping in to the correct lighting functions.
I have also attached a few helpful articles for you to check out.
