I just bought a Dodge harness for my Prodigy brake controller and can't seem to find the connector under the dash. Anybody have pictures of this underdash connector? Also, where have you secured the Prodigy itself? My old DMAX had a nice flat spot to drill through, haven't found this one yet. Thankshttp://dieselplace.com/forum/smileys/Confused.gif

See the white connector coming off the black wire case? That's the blue plug it goes into. That plug is behind the support member above the parking brake and, in my case, to the left of the clutch (black arm in photo).
I mounted my controller on the lower dash panel between the throttle pedal and brake. It's flat right there and easy to pull and drill. There it never gets in my way, I can see it and quickly get a hand on it for manual braking and setting changes.

Thanks Capt., I will attempt to find it and with your help I'm sure I'll have a much better chance. The picture sure helps. I may also try to mount it where you did, that seemed to be the best spot from what I can see. I'll see how it goes...

Capt.,
I found it! Thanks to your picture I was able to search with my hand in the general area and find the all consuming plug! I spent all day at the fire station looking for the dam thing, my buddies thought I was just admiring my new truck, little did they know I was searching over and over again for the pain in the butt connector. Now I just have to mount the brake and I'll be in business. Thanks again.http://www.dieselplace.com/forum/smileys/Clap.gif

DGFoster,
I guess. Do hear good things about Prodigy. Mine is a Draw Tite Activator II. Works. Use it all the time. What else can I say?
I have a Prodigy on my bench in the gargage. Haven't had the need to install it yet. I sold my car trailer last year. It worked well.
