Default RE: Brake Controller

My truck came with the same pigtail set. It's supplied from the factory as part of the towing package so that you can splice into your controller wiring. I was planning on using it until I found this premade wiring harness that plugs right into the truck and controller. http://www.rvwholesalers.com/catalog...productid=1949
For the twelve bucks that it costs, it wasn't even worth taking the soldering iron out of the tool box.

rvwholesalers.comhad the lowest price on the Prodigy that I found at the time, and got my stuff in two days.

Where is the plug under the dask for the harness?

On the left side of the brake pedal, tucked up under the dash.
Here's a link to a photo of my '05 1500 connector: http://picasaweb.google.com/worldtra...mWiringHarness

For what it's worth, I've got a Primus controllor mounted on the left of the steering column (and no, I never hit my knees getting in/out.

XJMARK:

Is that just pressure fit, no bracket and if so any problems with shaking loose?

Thanks for the compliment phlytyer.

That's correct. It's just a pressure fit.
I used a thin piece of cardboard as a shim under the pad to help lock it in place.

It's stayed in place perfectly since I put it in. Even with a few panic stops where I had to jam on the brake lever, it didn't move a bit.
