trailer brake controller.
 
I have a trailer-brake controller i put in my 97. it has the towing package, but was wondering about getting the male plug-in to go to the female -end under my dash that is already in the truck. my brake controller doesnt have the connector, just the wires.--was used!!

Who makes it? Check out www.campingworld.com they have several different cables with the ends on them for some of the different Tekonsha brake controls...<br><br><br>Tony

If yours is the same as my 2001, there is a prewired controller plug-in under the dash.(I think this is the one you are talking about) The only thing is, it's a Chrysler's own set-up. Dodge sells these adapter plugs that you can splice in to your controller, and then just plugs in to the existing truck plug. But in keeping up with typical Chyrsler ways, it's about 70 bucks! For a plug-in and wires about 6 inches long! That was too much for mee, so I bought $2, flat four wire trailer plug, cut the under dash connector off, spliced in the trailer plug, and tahdah! It works just fine. (I did steal the wiring codes from the dealer when I was looking at their expensive wiring harness though) Hope this helps.

You should be able to get the correct plug at any trailer supply store for around $10. I found one at the first place I went for my 2K. Walmart might even have them...

You could just use 4 female spade connecters, you don't have to cut any wires. I got a harness at Auto Zone for $12 but when I installed it I saw I could have saved $11.50 making my own.
