98 Dakota 4x4 brake controller
I just bought a Hopkins electric trailer brake controller and a matching plug in and go Hopkins plug set. I looked under the dash but couldn't find where it plugs in, does anyone know where the plug would be located. Truck has a Mopar 4 flat trailer wire at the back and a Mopar receiver so I guess it came with the towing package. Just bought a trailer with brakes and want to get it working. Thanks
Trailer brakes wont work with a 4 pin connector you need a 7 pin and will have to run your wires. I got a 7 plug online that plugged into my 4 pin and then all you had to run was power and trailer brake wires.
This is the one I got.

I don't believe you have the trailer tow package. That includes a 7 pin plug and the connector for the brake controller.
You could run a build sheet, there is a sticky on how to do it. That'd tell you for sure.
