Presumably you're not trying to use the Kelsey-Hayes controller that taps into the Master Cylinder.

If it's a new truck that was equipped with the Towing Package, the wiring harness for the brake controller should be in the glove compartment.

If it's a second-hand truck, go to the Parts Dept. of your nearest Dodge Dealership and get one from them.

Dodge has a plug under the dash for the brake controller. Go to a dealer. They should have the plug or be able to order it. They should also be able to tell you the wiring. I have on but will not be able to access it until this weekend which will not help you.
It looks like the same info from The McCullochs.
Good luck. Hope you make Friday's deadline.
Tow safe.

A brake controller wiring harness came with my '04 Dodge and the pre-wired plug it went into is just above the steering wheel column under the dash. Easy to find. This is only true if the truck has the towing package. If you need a harness you will probably have to go to the Dodge dealer and get one like others have said here.

On my 2006, the factory plug was under the drivers side dash, near the emergency brake. I purchased a "Dodge to controller" cable (plugs on both ends, prewired) for 12 bucks at my local dealer (like this one http://tinyurl.com/2xqaka ). Pluged it into my controller and then the factory plug and wham, all done.

As stated above, you only have that plug if your Dodge has the factory tow package.

Here is a nice walk thru if you have to wire the truck yourself. http://tinyurl.com/yuftqv

Hope this helps.
