If you have 12V power to the pin in the 1 o'clock position on your 7-Way (see attached picture) then that is all that is needed to supply power to the HydraStar Electric Over Hydraulic Actuator for Disc Brakes # HBA16. You will need a fully functioning 7-Way on your 2005 Dodge Ram 3500 so that you can utilize a brake controller, like part 90195, to activate the HydraStar. If you check out the attached photo you can see that the brake controller signal will show up on the pin in the 5 o'clock position on your 7-Way.

To install the HydraStar you will need to configure the wiring as follows:

Black: 12-volt power
Blue: brake controller
Yellow: breakaway
White: ground

I have attached a video of the HydraStar being installed on a 5th wheel trailer for you to check out.
