Ram integrated brake control

thanks for the details.

You are correct in your assumptions :)

Sadly, I have the big console so I'll have to figure out an installation location, I like to have access to the controller so under the column wouldn't be my first choice either.

I'm nor so sure mine works now either..with my 5th I weigh in at 13k and a little bit...those brakes work fine, gain at 5.5 and I can stop the truck with the trailer...with my equipment rigs I weigh in between 15k and 30k , gain at 10 and all I feel is a tug...brakes are adjusted, and they used to lock up on my gmc 6liter. ..

So, how do I plug in an aftermarket unit ?

I'm assuming you'll be mounting it in your '15 Ram 3500. First remove the lower dash panel just below the steering column. Just 3-4 screws. Just above the accelerator pedal you should see the 4-prong plug that looks just like the plug on the end of the Tekonsha 3024-P pigtail (used on 2015-2016 Rams). Of course, I'm also assuming you'll be replacing it with a Tekonsha unit. If not, you may have to google some pics/videos to identify the plug. In any case, unplug the 4-prong plug and plug in the 3024-P pigtail. The other end of the 3024-P plugs into the Tekonsha brake controller. That's it. No programming or dealer flash required. The Tekonsha brake controller is now active. The EVIC will simply show the IBC as 'not connected'.

If you don't have a center console, I'd recommend mounting the aftermarket brake controller on the lower, dash panel just above the transmission hump. This panel simply pulls straight back out without having to remove any screws. Some folks mount it on the lower dash panel just below the steering column. Mounted in this position (IMO) it's not easy to see or access, it's very close to your knees, plus the plastic is very flimsy.
