Trailer Brake Controller Installation - 2001 Dodge Ram Video

According to our records, the cold brake switch wire on a 2004 Dodge Ram 2500 should be a white/tan wire. Wire color is not always universal, so if you do not find a white/tan wire, you can use a wire tester like part #PTW2993 to determine wire…

On my 2004 Dodge Ram (which would be the same as your 2003) the factory trailer connector plug split off from a larger wiring harness on the inboard side of the drivers side frame rail near the rear bumper. There should be a rectangular connector…

You can add a 7-Way trailer connector and retain the use of a 4-Way as well by installing #37185. The 4-Way you have will plug into the 37185 and the remaining wires would have to be hardwired in. The white wire grounds to the truck frame. Black is…

Yes, it is very possible to install/fit a 7-way trailer connector on a 2004 Dodge Ram 1500. I first recommend looking under the vehicle for a square ten pin connector. This (if present) will be located behind the rear bumper near the spare tire and…

You will have to go with a sliding hitch to allow the trailer to make tight turns. For a trailer 8 feet wide the only bed length that's going to allow 90 degree turns without a slider is a stationary hitch. That being said you have two options.…

I have a solution for you, but the #C16210 will not fit a Draw Tite Hide a Goose as it only will fit Curt gooseneck hitches. Instead you would want the Draw Tite Hi Rise part #9480 as it will fit your Hide a Goose hitch and will provide you with a…

The Curt X5 #C16220 that you referenced is designed to fit the Curt EZr Double Lock Gooseneck Hitch #C60682 for your 2004 Dodge Ram Pickup. Since you have the Hide-A-Goose Underbed Gooseneck Trailer Hitch #9464-35 installed on your Ram the best…

The remaining wires from the 4- to 7-Way adapter #37185 will need to be hardwired in to your 2003 Dodge Ram 1500 to make the 7-Way fully functional. The blue wire is for electric brakes, black is for 12 volt power, and purple is for reverse lights.…

Looks like somebody used quick splices to wire in the 7-way on your 2001 Dodge Ram and then when they removed the 7-way they just cut the wires leading to them. Thank you for the picture though as that helps me understand you setup very easily. Since…

Sounds like the brake controller wiring you found under the dash of your 2004 Dodge Ram 1500 doesn't run to the rear of the vehicle. I would be shocked if any of the circuits are active though on that connector as everything we know on your…

In order to add a 7-Way to your 2005 Dodge Ram 1500 that came with a factory 4-Way you will need to use a 4- to 7-Way adapter such as #30717. The white wire will ground to the truck frame. The black wire is the 12 volt power circuit you will need to…

Congratulations on your new truck bed camper! I'm sure you will enjoy it for many years. Sway is a common issue with truck bed campers which can be reduced, but not eliminated. The campers are not particularly aerodynamic and the sway will…
