Location of Brake Controller Adapter Port on 2019 Ram 1500
Question:
Any additional info on where to find the port for the wiring harness on a 2019 ram 1500? I cant find it, and the dealership told me there isnt one and Id need to splice in the controller.

Every 2019 Ram 1500 has the brake controller adapter port because they use the same plug that Ram uses for their integrated brake controller option. I contacted the tech at Tekonsha that also confirmed that to be true. The dealership may have thought you were asking about the brake controller itself. Even if the Ram did not come equipped with the brake controller the plug is still there.
The Tech at Tekonsha owns a 2019 Ram 1500 and he confirmed the plug is underneath the heater controls on the dash. There is a panel with clips directly underneath the heater controls that you can reach behind and unclip. The plug is behind this panel tucked inside the dash. I have attached a photo that shows the panel I am describing.
