Take a look at your owners manual. Under "towing" it states the a service plug is mounted under the left side of the dash. I have one in my 2008 Tundra and it plugs right in.
There is a plug up under the dash on the drivers side. The information is in the owners manual.

To wire the Tekonsha Prodigy brake controller to a 2008 Dodge Nitro, connect the wires as follows: the black wire from the brake controller should be connected to the vehicle's 12V power source, the blue wire connects to the trailer brake output, the red wire should be connected to the stoplight switch for brake signal, and the white wire is the ground, which connects to the vehicle's chassis. Make sure to securely fasten all connections and verify that the brake controller is properly mounted. It's also advisable to consult the vehicle’s wiring diagram for specific pin locations.
The brake controller has to be hooked up to a power source. The controller also has to be hooked to the brake switch or tail lights, then to the plug for the trailer.
By following the instructions that came in the box of the new trailer brake controller.
It isn't there, Dodge didn't wire the Dakota with one. You will have to wire the brake controller your self.
To connect the brake controller under the dash of a 2004 Cadillac Escalade, locate the wiring harness for the trailer brake controller, which is typically found near the brake pedal. You will connect the brake controller's power, ground, and brake signal wires to the corresponding wires in the harness. Ensure that you consult the vehicle's service manual for specific wire colors and functions to ensure proper connections. After installation, test the controller to ensure it's functioning correctly.
If by 'controller' you mean the switch that makes the brake lights come on, it is not in the trunk. It is located underneath the dashboard, next to the brake pedal.
My 2000 Toyota Tundra Truck, the brake lights come on when your not pressing on the brake paddle. Not even even if the car is on.
If you want trailer brakes you need a brake controller.
not sure, but most of them have a orange wire and a blue wire run from under the brake booster, to the back. these are perfect for your trailer brake controller and break away power.
It doesn't.... By the e-brake under the dash, there is a bundle of wires (4) that are blunt cut and taped together. These get spliced to the brake controller wires by function, not by color.
