Question:
IM looking to install an electronic brake controller in my 2008 ram 1500. I looked under the dash and I do have the factory connector to plug in to. What harness or connector would I need to go from the brake controller to the factory connector? Is that something you offer and if so what would be the part number? Thank you

Helpful Expert Reply:
The correct install harness you need for a brake controller in your 2008 Dodge Ram is the part # 3020-P for our most popular Tekonsha brand brake controllers.
For a brake controller 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.
