Brake controller harness & factory 7 pin plug

That's it.

It may be, but only back to the splice box on the rear of the frame. Download the wiring diagrams from

Don't know if they're similar, but I have a 2004 Dakota without the tow package. On mine, the 4 wire connector under the dash had all the wires I needed to connect to the Protege Dodge adapter, but the blue wire did not go all the way to the rear. On mine, it went to a connector just behind the left front tire on the wheelwell, a multiple wire connector that had more wires going into it than coming out of it. (I assume if you had the tow package, a different wiring harness would have been run from the front to the rear with the blue wire included). I simply ran a blue wire from the connector on the wheel well to the rear 7-pin tow connector and the brakes work fine. If you get the plug-in adapter from Protege, then you don't have any additional wiring under the dash, just plug one end in the brake controller and the other in the flat 4 brake controller connector that Dodge supplies under the dash (mine actually had a tag that said "brake"). On the rear, you will need a 7-pin plug, but will also need to run the blue electric brake wire as noted above. Some 7-pin plugs are designed to plug into the 4 wire plug at the rear, so you have those 4 out of 7 wires connected simply by plugging it in. The blue wire will be the 5th wire of 7, and you'll have 2 slots left for future use; one for charging the trailer battery, and I can't recall what the other one is, but I don't use it on my pop-up. A previous poster showed a link to Dodge wiring. That's what I used to find where my wires ran.
