From what I gleaned from Ben's post I would bet that the problem is Ram is using the wrong size wire going from the controller to the trailer connector on the HD trucks. I know my EOH system I installed on my boat trailer requires a 12 AGW wire for their single axle system @ 30' max. For a dual axle a 10 AWG @ 30' max is required.
Couple that with the under rated wiring and piss poor connections the trailer manufacturers use and you will end up with issues. My 2004 Cougar's wiring was a joke. The connectors were the screw on wire nuts without any covering at all. and the wire looked to be only 14 AWG not 12 or 10!
Note, on my boat system the max length is the hyd brake line.

The FACT is the controller was changed for 2015. The FACT is Chrysler knows there is a problem. The FACT is they are working on a fix. I get my info right from the source. NO I will not mention names. You will just have to believe me or not.
The 12-14 controllers worked great. I am sure you can thank some liability issues for this whole mess.
