In order to work with an electric-over-hydraulic (EOH) trailer brake actuator like the Titan BrakeRite # T4813102 your OEM trailer brake controller in your 2016 Ram 3500 must have a setting for this type of operation. Factory controllers from Ford and GM require adapter # T4845900 but your Ram OEM unit does not.

You can refer to the linked article on converting to EOH disc brake operation for more detailed information on the items needed for this installation.
