You'll have to hardwire a brake controller to your 2005 Dodge Sprinter van.
You will need to start with a 4-way (if you do not have one). For that you would want the # C59496.
From there you would need to convert the 4-way to a 7-way so that you can install the brake controller. For that you will want the Brake Controller Install Kit and 7-Way Adapter part # ETBC7. I attached installation instructions for this product as well.
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.
