• If you are towing a trailer that has the Prodigy RF brake controller part # TK94FR installed on it you can use either it as the brake controller or the factory controller of your 2016 Ram 1500. To use the Ram controller you'd just have to unplug the trailer's 7-way from the RF and then plug that directly to the truck.

• Brake Controller Recommendation for 2009 Chevy Silverado to Apply Trailer Brakes
• 7-Way trailer connectors do not have a dedicated brake signal ran to them. That signal is carried on the turn signal circuit wires as they are combined. Are you possibly trying to get the brake output circuit active for trailer brakes? For that you'd need a brake controller as that requires carefully applicated voltage to smoothly apply the trailer brakes. For a brake controller I would recommend the Prodigy P2 Brake Controller part # 90885. This is our best selling brake controller because...

• Troubleshooting Trailer Brakes that are Weak with Brake Pedal or Override Lever
• What's the gain setting for the controller? Sounds like your brakes are working when there is the full voltage put on the circuit but maybe your controller just isn't putting out the 12 volts you'd need. This can be due to the gain level being too low on the controller or maybe the controller itself is weak and in need of replacing if it can't put out 12 volts. For a brake controller I would recommend the Prodigy P3 Brake Controller part # 90195. This is our best selling brake controller...

• Adapter For A 2011 Chevrolet 3500 Factory Brake Controller With Dexter Hydraulic Trailer Brakes
• Unfortunately we are not aware of an adapter for Dexter hydraulic brakes with a factory brake controller in a 2011 Chevrolet 3500. The Adapters for the Titan Brakerite are specifically for their Brakerite actuator and are not compatible with other actuators. Similarly, Hydrostar makes an adapter for their actuators, but Dexter does not yet. The best recommendation I can give you is an aftermarket brake controller like the Tekonsha Prodigy P2 Trailer Brake Controller - 1 to 4 Axles...

• Best Brake Controller for 2004 Chevy Silverado Towing Trailer Through Mountains

If you were to use a time-based brake controller, you would have to be adjusting the power to your brakes on the fly. You also want a controller with automatic leveling so you do not have to...

• Trailer Wiring Recommendation for Brake Controller Wiring with 5-Way on 2014 BMW X3
• The non-splice trailer wiring kit part # 119250KIT that you referenced is a confirmed fit for your 2014 BMW X3 and will not require any hardwiring since it uses sensors to tap into your vehicle's wiring. This connector does not carry the brake controller circuit for activating trailer brakes though so you'd have to look into converting this to a matching connector like what your trailer has. For that we have a 5-way round socket like part # PK11502 which matches what you mentioned having...

• Is there a Brake Controller Wiring Harness for a 2008 Mercedes GL550
• There isn't an aftermarket brake controller wiring harness that will fit your 2008 Mercedes GL550, so you have a couple of options.

Then you could wire the controller to that adapter harness. The other option is to determine the functions of the pins in that port using a circuit tester such as # PTW2993 or a meter if you have one. One...
