Question:
I have a 2014 Ram 2500 and a 2008 Airstream with EOH breaks. The EOM controller says trailer not connected when its connected. I would like use the EOM controller instead of purchasing an aftermarket controller. Will the DX35FR work with my setup?

Expert Reply:
Supposedly the Ram OEM controllers are supposed to be compatible with EOH braking systems but as you've experienced this isn't always the case (be sure to check that there isn't a setting that needs to be changed on the OEM controller).
You'll need the Adapter Module # DX35FR if your trailer is using the Dexter Axle BrakeRite system, or the Adapter Module # HBA-CAM if your trailer has the Hydrastar instead.
If you have a different brand EOH system then I recommend replacing your OEM brake controller with the Prodigy P2 # 90885 and Wiring Adapter # 3023-P, but you might need to have a dealer flash the computer system to get the system to read the new brake controller.
