I can tell you the functions of the brake controller wiring but I would need more information about the truck to explain a complete installation on a 1996 Dodge Ram. On the brake controller white is ground, black is for 12 volt power, red is input from the brake switch, and blue is output to the trailer brakes.

To determine how it should be wired to your 1996 Dodge Ram I would need to know if the truck came with a factory 7-Way or 4-Way trailer connector or no trailer connector at all. I have included a link to the right that should also help.
