Does anyone have a picture of where the brake controller plugs into on a 2004.5 Cummins?

The plug has a positive on one end, and a negative on the other end, and 2 wires in the middle.

I was looking forward to installing the brake controller this weekend, but my directions aren't very good

thanks in advance

Blue plug inside red circle....



What kind of controller? Prodigy is what I have and it is plug and play with the optional $10 dodge harness.

If you do not have the Dodge Harness from Tekonsa (owns prodigy) I would spen the money. If there is an RV place near you that carries the Prodigy they will have them. The part number is.... well I can't find my box. I will look it up and edit my post.

I have the harness that came with the controller, and it looks to be the same as the one in your link.

I still cant find the plug, you have any bigger pictures?

thanks a lot hub

The plug is underneath the dash, just below the parking brake release, against the outside fender. In the picture above, he has his brake controller plugged into the blue female plug.
Yours will be blue also - with nothing plugged into it - right next to that large white bus connector.

The Shiny metal to the left in the picture is the parking brake track. It is just to the right of that.

You do have the tow package?

OK fellas, I found the plug, after some digging. thanks a lot

now the next dilemma--where to mount the brake controller?

I dont want anything in the way of my legs, and the steering wheel is kind of in the way if you want to mount it up high on the right or left hand side

again, thanks, I definately could not have found that little bugger by myself

Mounting is purely a personal thing. I have mine mounted to the right of the steering colum and semi level. My uncle has his mounted to the right of his colum on flat against the knee panel. The prodigy can be mounted at upto a 70* angle.

I have thought about mounting it in the cubby slot in the dash for easy access but I use that slot of for the cell phone and MP3 player.

i mounted my hayes on the floor console all the way to the left in front of where the manual t-case shifter would be, allowed me to completely hide the wires and keep the knee panel clear. used two sided tape so i didnt have to drill holes and could be moved later if i didnt like it there. you can kind of see it here:
