All:

I recently installed the factory hitch and wiring harness on my Dakota. Somewhere along the way I lost/misplaced the instructions and I'm not sure where the blue trailer brake wire taps into the wiring system so that it comes out on the trailer brake controller harness inside the cab. Anyone here have a copy of those instructions so that they can enlighten me on where to tap the blue wire into the system?

OK, so after 3 hours of doing a really nice, professional job of installing the brake controller into the dash (below the heater, left of the 4wd switch) and wiring the factory brake controller pigtail in... YOU THINK I CAN FIND THE FREAKING PLUG UNDER THE DASH TO PLUG THE CONTROLLER PIGTAIL INTO? NOOOOOOO... THAT WOULD BE TOO EASY.

Does anyone here know where that plug is located? I've looked behind the e-brake near the big wiring connector block... in the steering column, near the central heater area... plus a number of other places but I can't find the damn thing. Any thoughts on where it could be hiding? Do all dakotas have this connector from the factory?

Heeeeeeelllp.

The location of that plug on my 02 is located
next to the emg brake pull off.

There is NO plug located there IF your Dakota
was not built with the tow package.

On my 03, there's a rectangular "box" mounted vertically slightly to the left of the brake pedal. The trailer brake controller plug was just above that (and mostly obscured by the box).
