Brake Controller

[DTangstrom]

This is my first post so I hope I am doing this right.

I have a 2000 Ram 2500, CTD, Auto, 4x4. I need to install a brake controller and was told the truck was already wired for it. I'm told that there is a plug under the dash to accomidate the controller. Can anyone tell where and what I can look for.

remove the 3 phillips head screw from the knee bolster (the trim panel) right under the steering column and it should be right there.

Look for a bright blue plug near the firewall to the left of the steering column. On the wires just behind the plug is a label with the words "Electric Brake". I didn't need to remove any screws to get to mine on my 2000.

On both my 1996 and my 2002 3500's, the brake controller plug has been under the dashboard to the left of the steering column. On the 2002, Dodge in their infinite wisdom ran a thick bundle of wires directly in front of it - that makes it hard to see and harder yet to get the pigtail plugged in, but it's doable. I didn't have to remove anything to get to it on either truck.

Thanks for the help. I'll take a look this weekend.
