Question:
I have a 2019 Ram 1500 Tradesman. I have the 51120 controller and the 51457 connector cord. Should this be plug and play or does the truck need programmed. The paperwork says something about a software update but my ram dealership acts like they dont have a clue. If I engage the controller it will stop the trailer but seems no communication between the brake pedal and the controller.

Expert Reply:
Thank you for your purchase from etrailer of the Curt Discovery Brake Controller # C84VV and Wiring Adapter # C51458, we appreciate it. Your 2019 Ram 1500's computer does not need to be flashed/programmed when using this controller it will be plug and play. The exception is if you are replacing the factory brake controller, as you would then need to do so.
