Brake controller hook up, where???

OK, got my Jordan brake controller in......Red to positive terminal at the battery with a breaker. White to negative terminal on battery. Blue wire to break source. Where is the break plug under the dash on our trucks? On the install on my PSD with this controller, the PSD had a plug you ran the wires to, very simple. I was assuming our trucks have the same setup, but where is the plug if there is one? I think I found it, but not sure. Blue plug, hanging under the dash, with 4 wires going into it, is that it? If so, anyone that has installed a Jordan controller tell me where I need to route/tap the wires into? I know how the cable attaches to the brake pedal, just trying to find the source for the wires, thanks!

It's mounted to the left of the e-brake bracket on the other side of the harness. You can't miss it. You will need the Dodge harness though to plug in. I think you went to a lot of extra work though.

OK, called Dodge, going to go pick up the Pigtail. However, there are 4 wires coming out of the harness from Dodge, my brake controller has 3. Anyone know which is which (what wires do I use/where they go to/and which one does not get used???)

Yes, and you didn't go through any extra work. I was off in la la land.

I'll have to look when I get home and I'll post back here.

The jordan wires red goes to the pos+ the white goes to neg- and the blue goes to the brake wire terminal


The Dodge pigtail has 4 wires the white wire w/red trace is pos+ have that figured out
the dark green wire w/black trace is the ground circuit have that figured out


Now the 2 remaining wires has a light blue wire w/white trace says its for the vehicle brake sense input (brake lights)

The light blue wire is the trailer/tow/electric brake feed


Which one of those 2 wires goes to the blue wire on the jordan brake controller?? I am assuming that it is the light blue wire the trailer tow electric brake feed but could be wrong? If I'm right where does the light blue with w/white trace (vehicle brake sense input brake lights)
