There is lots of good info here for adding a brake controller without the factory tow option. I have the factory option and was hoping it would be simpler (like all my vehicles from 2002-05); however, it's not looking that way. Hoping someone can help. The Upfitter link gives the following info for the 4 wires from the controller:
1. Brake switch (red) must be spliced to Pin 4 of veh brake switch connector. This is under dash and not really easy for me.
2. Power source (black). Find what works. They suggest going directly to battery.
3. Ground (white). Ditto #2 .
4. Brake output (blue). For late 2014 on, no need to run wire all the way to the 7-pin at the hitch. Simply connect to the blue wire in the MOPAR trailer harness.
I can't seem to find this harness except all the way back at the hitch. Seems really lazy by RAM that there is no brake controller plug-in with the factory towing option. Can anyone help? Thanks.
