Brake controller - 2013 Caravan Crew Plus
Just got a new 2013 Caravan Crew Plus with the factory hitch and 7/4 harness installed. I need to install a brake controller, but have no idea where to start. I figured the wiring would already be in the cabin. Under the hood I found where the harness connects to and there is a light blue wire coiled up (about 5 feet in length )
Anyone have a clue on how to connect the brake controller?
Cheers

look at web sites of controllers, they have wiring diagram. I have one installed I put in my self by following the diagrams. run 2 wires from the battery to the rear. I ran 10gage as that's what was recommended. I put 2 auto fuses just after the battery on the pillar. '

I'm on the same boat.
I have tow package from factory but it doesn't have the conector for the brake controller.
You have to installed after the fact.

I posted a past thread about towing with a minivan but no one responded to it! But in the future, I might tow an RV with my 2005 D.G.C. SXT with tow package. I plan on getting this electronic Proportional Brake Controller - http://www.etrailer.com/Brake-Contro...eid=2005106313
It's cheapest on ebay - http://www.ebay.com/itm/121053881147...84.m1423.l2649
They say Tekonsha's are the best but they make no custom plug in harness for the latest Dodge / Chrysler minivans. I think like on my 2005 SXT, you have to splice a wire in your brake pedal switch. I know the 2ndary brake wire [to tap to] on my 2005 SXT from looking at the Service Manual.
I need to get this, too: http://www.etrailer.com/p-ETBC7/Brak...-10-Gauge.html
Here's instruction for you minivan: http://www.etrailer.com/tv-brake-con...d-caravan.aspx
