What is really frustrating about factory integrated brake controllers is that even the ones that say they are compatible with electric over hydraulic brakes don't always work properly. The factory controller of your 2013 Ram 3500 is supposed to be compatible with EOH brakes but we've found that in a lot of cases the only solution is to bypass the factory controller with an aftermarket one that consistently works with EOH actuators like the Prodigy P3 part # 90195. To install this in your truck you'd then want the part # 3023-P and you'd be set.
You might try connecting the truck to standard electric brakes to see if the controller decides to work then.
