The brake controller port on a 2005 Dodge Ram 2500 equipped with the appropriate tow package is located under the dash near the emergency brake pedal. It will be taped to another wire bundle and will have the harness, part # 3020-P, connected to it. I have included a link to part 3020-P so you know what it looks like as well as the instructions that describe where to find the brake controller port.

I also attached a picture of the # 3020-P. If the connector you have found matches the white connector in the picture it would be the correct one. If the connector you have found only has two wire run to it then it would not be the correct one. The one you need should have at least 4 wires run to it.

If you don't have trailer wiring at the rear of your vehicle then you will need to go a different route for the brake controller install.

You will need to start with a 4-way (if you do not have one). For that you would want the # C55504.

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 and an install video for this product as well.

For a brake controller I would recommend the Prodigy P3 Brake Controller part # 90195. This is our best selling brake controller because of how well it works and how easy it is to setup.
