Default 2008 Big Horn Brake Controller

OK Before everyone jumps on me for not searching I did, a lot.

that said I ahve a bit of a problem, i think. This is my 2nd 2008 Big Horn and I cannot seem to find the factory installed wiring harness for the brake controller. I have the adapter from my previous truck I have already mounted my controller and I cannot find the bblue plug. there is another plug and is blue under the dash (similar location of the previous truck). but there are several pins and the configuration of the plugs is not the same as the adapter from the prevous truck.
Did dodge change the configuration part way through the build? the build date o teh truck is 12/07
thanks

Did the truck have the 7 pin plug on it factory or the towing package? OR did it just have the 4 flat pin?

Do you have the factory towing package? If you do then your 08 should have the same brake controller plug. If you don't then you will gave to hard wire the brake box in.

Dodge is weird. I've ran across several newer 3rd gen rams that didn't have the factory hitch or 7 way plug but had the brake controller plug.

If you can get a picture of it and load it to photobucket and post it here that would help.
