The CURT 51453 brake control harness is designed for Ram 1500, Ram 2500, and Ram 3500 models. Your truck must have factory 2-pin and 4-pin brake control harness connectors located under the dash above the gas pedal. If your vehicle has these connectors, the harness will fit.
The CURT 51453 is a brake control harness that connects your Ram truck's factory brake control connectors to an aftermarket brake control unit. It allows the brake control unit to interface with your vehicle's braking system.
Yes. The CURT 51453 harness connects to a brake control unit, which is sold separately. After installing the harness, you must mount the brake control unit and follow its instruction manual for setup and testing.
The harness is installed under the dash, to the right of the emergency brake pedal. The vehicle's factory brake control connectors are located under the dash above the gas pedal. The harness routes along the back of the dash and out the bottom to connect to the brake control unit.
Yes. The first step is to open the driver-side door and remove the two screws securing the lower dash panel. Pull the panel outwards to access the factory brake control connectors located above the gas pedal.
The CURT 51453 harness has a 2-pin connector and a 4-pin connector that plug into the vehicle's factory brake control connectors. It also has a black connector on the other end that plugs into the brake control unit's quick plug connector.
Locate the 2-pin and 4-pin vehicle brake control harness connectors under the dash above the gas pedal. Remove any tape and protective cover from both connectors, taking care not to damage the locking tabs. Insert the CURT harness's 2-pin and 4-pin connectors into the vehicle connectors, ensuring they are fully inserted with locking tabs in place.
After connecting the 2-pin and 4-pin connectors to the vehicle connectors, route the brake control harness along the back of the dash and out the bottom to the brake control unit. Insert the harness's black connector into the brake control unit's quick plug connector. Secure the harness with the provided cable ties, avoiding any pinch points.
The CURT 51453 includes cable ties for securing the harness during installation. Use these to secure the harness along the dash route, avoiding any pinch points.
After installation, you must test the harness for proper function by following the brake control unit instruction manual. Mount the brake control unit as directed in its manual and perform all test procedures to ensure the system works correctly.
All steps must be followed to ensure the CURT brake control harness will function properly. Improper installation could result in the brake control system not working correctly, which is a safety issue.
When removing tape and protective cover from the 2-pin and 4-pin vehicle brake control connectors, take care not to damage the locking tabs. The locking tabs must be intact and properly seated when you insert the CURT harness connectors.
Make sure the connector is fully inserted with locking tabs in place. The locking tabs should be seated and secure, indicating a complete connection.
