Wiring Adapter to Install Tekonsha Prodigy P3 in 2017 Ram 5500 with Factory Controller
Question:
I have a 2017 ram 5500 chassis cab 6.7 Cummins with Aisin transmission and factory controller. I want to install your P3 controller 90195 with part 3021-P. Your website says not confirmed for 2016 or 2017 model. Can you let me know it this harness will work for me? Thank you.

Expert Reply:
You can install the Prodigy P3 trailer brake controller # 90195 in your 2017 Ram 5500 that has a factory controller but you will use wiring adapter # 3024-P, not part # 3021-P. I confirmed this harness fit with Tekonsha.
Once you disconnect the factory unit a code will appear on your dash. This error code does not affect operation of the Prodigy but if you want to clear it you will need to visit a dealership to have them electronically disengage the factory controller connection. This will clear the code and your P3 will work fine, giving you superior proportional trailer braking power.
