How to Install Brake Controller in a 1996 Dodge Van B2500
Question:
Hello, I have a 1996 Dodge B2500 van Does this model have a factory brake control connector under the dash or anywhere so that a wiring harness connector plugs up to it and the trailer brake controller? If so what harness connector part # is required Thank you

Expert Reply:
You would need to hardwire a brake controller to your 1996 Dodge B2500 van as it does not have a brake controller install port under the dash like some vehicles do.
You will need to start with a 4-way (if you do not have one). For that you would want the # C59236.
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 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.
