The best and easiest way to install a Prodigy P3 brake controller part # 90195 in your 2008 Dodge Ram is to use a custom install harness designed for the vehicle like the part # 3020-P which plugs in under the dash of the vehicle.
I attached a picture of the connector you would be looking for to plug into. Here's how to wire directly though too.
New Dodge (Green Wire)
White with Red Tracer = +12 Volt Power
Blue with White Tracer = Stop Light
Green with Black Tracer = Ground
Blue = Trailer Brakes
Old Dodge
Red with Black Tracer = +12 Volt Power
White with Tan Tracer = Stop Light
Black = Ground
Blue = Trailer Brakes
