Is There A Custom Harness To Plug A Tekonsha P3 Into A 2012 Ram 3500?

Question:
I have a Tekonsha P3 brake controller that I want to put in my 2012 Ram 3500 because my Integrated brake module stopped working. I am wondering if you all sell a plug and play harness that would let me plug into the Tekonsha? Would I need to do anything else to get this working?

We most certainly do, Clifton!
The Tekonsha Plug-In Wiring Adapter for Electric Brake Controllers - Dodge # 3021-P will plug directly into the back of your Tekonsha P3 # 90195 and then into a port up under your dash, kind of between the brake pedal and the emergency/parking brake pedal (see picture). Then just mount the controller and you are on your way!
Out of curiosity, did your P3 come out of another vehicle you have?

Yes. I bought it about 5 or 6 years ago and stopped using the vehicle. I figured I still had the P3 in there so instead of spending a bunch of money on a new Integrated Brake Control Module (I believe The ECM would need to be reflashed to recognize it. Not 100% sure though) I would actually put the P3 to work. Thanks for the help!!!
