High,
Just got a bright red 98 Durango with the Magnum V8 5.9l engine. it came with the towing package from the factory.
I plan to tow a 20ft camper that has the electric brakes. Well I ran a meter on the brake assist pins of the tow connector and it appears that I have to install a brake assist unit. Any ideas whether the wiring would have been installed in the factory to make life simple for me, or will I have to dig in and run some wiring?

 

should be in the dash above the brake pedal, ill try and look tomorrow (i got a brake controller included with my truck when it was bought new, and im pretty sure it has directions included with it)

 

Hey thanks,
currently the truck is getting new tires.
But in the meant time i have found a adapter cable made by Drawtite that looks like it should be a quick install if the wire is there.
Thanks for the help.

 

There is a light blue harness with 4 wires in it directly above the E-brake on top of the wiring block or close to it. You can get an adapter!

This is a harness that will plug directly into the OEM light blue connector above the E-brake and fit directly into the controller. This will set everything up including power connections and electric brakes at the hitch. That's all you have to do and your finished!


*EDIT*
Fixed links.

 

Thanks
I was able to remove the unit from my other car and using the adapter plug I soldered the connectors to give me a clean cable, shrink tube and all.
then it was just plug and play
thanks for the help again
