Which Tekonsha Primus Brake Controller will Work with 2016 Ram 1500
Question:
Hi, I have the Primus 90155 proportional controller. The description for part 3016 wiring/plug indicates its compatible with many different Tekonsha controllers, including the Tekonsha Primus IQ TK90160 , but it doesnt list my 90155. Looks like the same plug, just double-checking it will fit. Target vehicle is 2016 Ram 1500, but Im mostly concerned about the brake controller end of this cable, not the vehicle end. Thank you!

Expert Reply:
The Primus IQ part # TK90160 is the updated version of the Primus 90155 that you have. Your version of the Primus will not work with your 2016 Ram 1500 because the new Rams use a multiplex style of brake light wiring that your controller won't understand. It will think that the brakes are on all the time or won't work at all. So the # 3016 will technically plug in to your controller but it won't work with your truck. You'd need to upgrade to the new version of the Primus with part # TK90160.
