Question:
I have a 2006 Dodge cummins, 3500. I have a trailer brake controller, and I recently replaced the plug on the rear end with a plug from you guys. I dont have marker lights, and I have had my TIPM reworked and fuses replaced and still nothing. Trailer brake lights and trailer brakes work, but no marker lights. Also, my dump trailer isnt being charged via the trailer plug like it should be. I think it is best to just bypass the standard system and use your kit to avoid the trailer light system. Can you give me a list of parts I need to buy to make this work? Will it work on my current trailer brake system as well?

The TIPM of your 2006 Dodge Ram 3500 is super annoying but we can help you bypass it all. For the 12 volt power supply of the 7-way you'll need 10 gauge wire like the part # 10-2-1 which we sell by the foot ran from positive post of your battery up to the 1:00 pin of your 7-way as your face front of it. You'll need a breaker too with # 9510. This is two wires bonded so one will be for the power and one for the ground circuit.
For the lighting functions what you'd want is the Curt # C56190KIT which you'd wire this to your truck taillights.
For the brake controller you'd also need to run 10 gauge wire from the blue wire of the controller to the 5:00 pin of the 7-way and you'd be set.
