Does Brake Controller Install Harness Wire Colors Match Vehicle Harness Colors of 2018 Ram 1500
Question:
I noticed the the wire colors dont match up between the connector under the dash and the 3024-P connector when plugged together. Is that a problem or is there no standard wire color in the truck. The blue wire is the only one that matches up. Thanks,

The brake controller install harness part # 3024-P is the correct install harness for your 2018 Ram 1500 and it's colors aren't going to match what the vehicle side of the connector will have. The colors of the # 3024-P represent the standard brake controller install colors for the aftermarket but the vehicle manufacturers swap colors all the time.
For a brake controller (if you don't have one), 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. This is a proportional brake controller that senses the amount of braking the tow vehicle is applying and applies a proportionate amount to the trailer brakes. This will be the last brake controller you buy. It can easily be transferred to future vehicles as well.
