Normaly, you hard wire the controller to the pigtail, that came with the tow package, and plug er in under the dash..should be good to go. Not sure about any links for info...someone else will chime in soon<br>wk

The Dodge wiring harness that you found in the glove box will be tagged as to the function of the wire. Check the owner's manual of your &quot;activator&quot; and splice the wires accordingly. Don't go by color code as they may not match. I would solder the splices and seal them with heat shrink tubing. Hope that helps.<br><br>Casey

i just put a new Reese Brakeman digital in my `03. I used the wiring harness supplied with the truck. It was wired, and installed in 20 mins. This unit is SOLID STATE, so it could be installed in any position, so i put it under dash with one of the screws holding the dash.it would have KILLED me to drill new holes.it works GREAT. i also recomend soldering the wires.
