Question:
How would I install this on a 1994 dodge Dakota?

Expert Reply:
If you are looking to wire a 7-way to your truck that doesn't have any trailer wiring you will need to start with a 4-way. For trailer wiring you then would want the part # C55317 to start to give you a 4-way.
Now if your trailer does not have brakes all you would need is the part # 37185 as an adapter to convert the 4-way to a 7-way.
If you do have trailer brakes you would need the # ETBC7 instead of the # 37185 and a brake controller. This kit comes with everything needed to wire up the 7-way and install a brake controller.
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.
Hardwiring the part # HM40975-11998 to a vehicle is going to be more trouble than it's worth when the route I recommended will be much easier and also gives you a 4-way and a 7-way.
