I just received the controller and bezel from mopar-wholesale.com, it cost about 115.00 shipped. It took about a 1/2 hour to install (with a beer break ) You need 2 screws to attach the controller to the bezel, I used the shortest 4MM fine screws I could find at the local hardware store. I tryed alot of different screws but the 4MM seem to "fit" the best. Now I just need to see if I can get it flashed at the dodge dealer.

hOW TO TURN OFF evic MESSAGE TO SERVICE TRAILER BRAKE SYSTEM
I have a 2010 Dodge Ram 300DRW HD 4X4, I had an electric brake issue in my 7 blade connector, I found it and corrected it. Now how do I get the EVIC message "Service Trailer Brake control system" and of course I have the red trailer with the line thru it, its one of those factory intergrated control system and those lights stay on even with trailer off.
HELP!!!!!!!!!!

Why the hell do they put a class IV hitch with wiring to the back for brakes and lights etc. Now if I install an after market controller I can just plug it in the big blue connector and well I don't have it in my EVIC **** I never look at it anyway. So the wiring somewhere on the frame shorts out....and my trailer brakes fail. Who is to blame? So really what is the difference, I would sign a waiver saying I would not hold them to blame if hooking up the OEM brake on my 09 failed I would not go after Chrysler as long as it was due to the hook up and not faulty controller or wiring after the controller.

Thanks for the info. I bought a controller form an Ebay seller. Then got the dash panel from my local dealer. $14.50. really cheap. I followed the direction and opend up my dash. I was only able to locate one connector taped to the harness.It was the 7 pin larger connector. Do I need to have both of them hooked up? My controller does not light up. Also, will it work If I do not have the dealer flash the ecu?
Thanks
