Brake Controller Wiring Harness for 2013 Ram 1500
Question:
Ive been using a Primus Tekonsha brake controller for 5 years on my 2000 Dodge Durango. I just purchased a 2013 RAM 1500. Can I use my Primus Tekonsha brake controller on my RAM if I purchase a 3023-P wire harness? I read on a one website that only a few aftermarket brake controller will work on the 2013 RAM 1500 and that its best to purchase an OEM brake controller. Is this true or will others work as long as I purchase a 3023-P wire harness?

Expert Reply:
Yes, your Tekonsha Primus Brake Controller # TK90160 will work with your 2013 Ram 1500 with the # 3023-P wiring harness. I have attached an installation video of this harness being installed on a 2013 Ram with a different brake controller.
Some of the older style brake controllers aren't compatible with 2013 and newer Ram trucks, but you should have no problem with your Primus.
