The one for the Dodge Ram. I switched the blue/black wires to make it work for the JT.
Weird, that the same harness several of us (myself included) have used and not seen any issues. I guess other than double checking the pins to make sure they got snapped back in all the way I'd be stumped. I mean I guess it's possible something is bad with the controller, but that would be pretty unlikely.

On mine I made a small notch at the top to allow the cover to snap in. It would be covered if I ever returned it to stock. Some have filed the notch off the cover as well, but I preferred to keep it to make sure for whatever reason it never rotated.
Where exactly did you mount the control box?

Remove the big panel under the steering wheel. There should be room there to mount it. Check the fit to make sure the panel will go back without issues. It may need mounted further back. I plan to install my Curt controller this weekend. I've seen several photos of it mounted there.

I mounted mine under the steering wheel as well. I forgot to take any pictures, but it's nice and solid under there.

Has anyone actually received and installed the Mopar trailer brake controller? Do the dealers have them? The online part stores don’t show whether it’s in stock or how long it takes to ship. Does anyone have the instructions?

Nope. Still not available. Saying October now. I went with the Curt Echo Bluetooth wireless. Like it really well.

Nope, FCA can't even give an accurate time frame as to when it will become available. It was supposed to be fall 2019, then Q1 2020, then spring 2020 now they are saying october 2020. No reason to think it will actually come out.

Go with the Redarc you will not be dissapointed with the quality way better than the knee busters of the past.

Is there someone that can change the title so folks dont think the new controller is out yet ?
I agree. Change it to "vaporware the mopar brake controller will probably never release"

I ordered one two weeks ago but have not heard a word about it. They accepted the order and said to contact the dealer “below” in the email about questions or order status, but there was no dealer listed. Other vendors contact you about back orders or shipping delays. So far nothing but crickets.

I bought a Curt Echo. Will try it on Wednesday when I pick up my trailer. Other solutions aren’t available or need wire swapping, diodes, drilling, etc. 7000+ lbs advertised towing capacity! Off the lot, perhaps a small utility trailer without its own brakes.
