Brake Controller Install Harness for Brake Controller in 2018 Ram 1500
Question:
I recently purchased a 2018 ram express 1500. i had a aftermarket Draw-tite Activator brake controler that i pulled out of my 2015 f150. I found the harness part number 3024-p on your website that seems to be the right one for this truck. Only thing is my brake controler i have is direct wire and i cant seem to find a harness that is made for direct wire? I could simply just cut the end off of the 3024-p and pigtail it to my controler, will this work? If so are the colors corespondent? I have a blue,black,red and white. If not do you have the wiring diagram for that harness?

Looks like someone cut the connector off the back of your Draw Tite Activator brake controller. What you can do is cut the connector off of the # 3024-P and hardwire them directly color for color like you mentioned. We've found though that time-delayed controllers don't like to work well on the newer Ram trucks so if this does not work you'll need to upgrade the controller to a proportional one like the P3 part # 90195.
