Re: Brake Controller--Pre 08/05

You also need to know that when you reach up under your dash that it's a LONG way up into the top of the dash. Use a flashlight and look. It's there on all the trucks, that's how they advertise them as prewired for the hitch.

We have a 4/05 build and use a brake controller.

I'm glad someone posted pics. My nephew did this for us and I didn't get in before him with my camera.

Thank goodness for your pics. I was getting my brake controller installed yesterday and they had no clue to where it would be. I brought out my laptop and showed them this thread - THANK YOU!!

Be careful, the underdash metal can have sharp edges.

We had our dealer install the brake controller when we were there for other maintance We didn't have the controller when he (nephew) did the hitch install, they charged me $25 to do this.
