Brake Controller and Install Harness for a 2015 Dodge Ram 1500

Question:

I have a new 2015 Dodge Ram 1500 and my old electric brake controller which i had in my GMC. My brake controller is a Hayes Energize III. Is there a harness that will connect to the controller on one end and the wiring harness under my dash for the Dodge?

On the new Ram trucks you have to use a newer proportional brake controller because of the low voltage stop light circuit that is used on the trucks. If you were to try and use your Hayes controller it wouldn't ever sense the vehicle brake applying.

For a brake controller I would recommend the Prodigy P2 Brake Controller part # 90885. This is our best selling brake controller because of how well it works and how easy it is to setup. This is a proportional brake controller that senses the amount of braking the tow vehicle is applying and applies a proportionate amount to the trailer brakes.

The correct install harness would be the # 3024-P which will plug into the port under your dash.
