Where is Brake Controller Install Port on 2019 Ram 1500

Question

Question:

I purchased the Prodigy P2 and the 3024-P harness for my 2019 1500 Ram. On your site I ed the 2019 Ram as the customer rep instructed. The harness I purchased should fit my 2019 Ram, but when I looked under the dash I did not see the port. Please inform me of the location of the brake port on a 2019 Ram 1500 so I can install the harness and controller. Regards,

I spoke to Tekonsha about finding the exact location for the brake controller on your truck and they told me that for your 2019 Dodge Ram 1500 "the connector is behind the area in the attached picture and from what we’ve been told you can reach behind the dash, and around a metal brace to get to this connector."

The picture I attached came from Tekonsha. The install harness you need is the part # 3024-P for the Prodigy P2 part # 90885 you mentioned.

@ColinP Same here 2020 RAM. Two connectors (brake contorller and ???) are taped together and above an alloy supporting bracket behind the knee bolster. The panel you point to is for the factory controller's human interface. THAT intrface then plugs into the one that Chris ( and I ) found. Wrpped up in black tape, almost impossibel to see and harder to ID without help.
