Installing Curt 7-Way C57186 to 2007 Dodge Ram With Factory 4-Flat

Question

Question:

I purchased the C 57186 adapter for 2007 Dodge Ram 1500. I also got the adapter to connect the Curt brake controller I got to the plug under the dash. How do I wire the C 57186 to the truck as the instructions are for if you do not have the plug under the dash?

Expert Reply:

Since you mentioned you already have the plug under the dash but not a 7-way, I am going to assume your 2007 Dodge Ram has the factory 4-way. If that is the case, you just need to plug in the 4-way and connect the blue brake wire to the Curt Universal Installation Kit for Trailer Brake Controller # C57186.

The blue brake wire is often located under the driver's side of the vehicle, right behind the front wheel well, and I have linked a help article below which details exactly what you need to look for; just scroll down a bit to where it says "Factory Installed 4-Pole" which has the instructions.
