So in all these videos I'm seeing that the factory harness for brake controller is a 4 pin blue connector
all I have is this black one that's attached to the dash
Update: after messing with the wires down there my truck won't crank.
Touched a wire from my battery to the starter connector and it started right up
Gotta love my Dodge

Reason: Truck model
The factory tapped into the brake switch so it would work with the brake controller. You need to do the same and add the power cables and a wire running back to the connector for the trailer(brake). Yes it's a pita!
On my 2001 2500 the connector is in a somewhat hidden spot behind the wiring bundle from the large white connector. I had to remove the white plug to get to it. The truck did not come with a factory tow package either, the wiring ended at the connector under the left rear cab corner... doh.
Can't find brake controller factory harness(99 Dodge Ram 1500 4x4 5.9)
