Hey wait!
Please make sure you have about a 1.25in circle in the middle of your windshield (in what should be a central, heavily tinted dark area on the windshield). There is a small plastic harness glued to the windshield and this is where the sensor installs.
I have a Level 1 Bighorn with...
Follow the old harness that you will remove, this makes the job easier. See also my notes in my original post and I think I had (or someone else had) a link to a guy who did the install on Facebook. He had some pictures. I am sorry I do not have pictures. It was fairly straightforward...
Here is what I did from old post.

Installing Factory Trailer Brake Controller and DIY Software Update
I bought the Ram (OEM) five key fob and had it programmed at the dealer. It works great and now I have a functioning tailgate release.
I tried two aftermarket FOBs with local locksmith programming and neither worked. To be fair, these were FOBs the locksmith recommended and not FOBs discussed...
I own, and I am comfortable using AlfaOBD. Nonetheless, I chose to have the dealer program the trailer brake controller and my LED bed lights. Both of these are ‘dealer installed options’, and after the dealership’s programming, both options show up on my ‘build sheet’. They programmed both for...
My problem was exhaust moving around in bushings, and can't be fixed apparently.
Just got the oil changed, and two techs told me this. I may need to live with the creaking noise.
Sorry I can't be more help this time.
You can put together your own kit for cheap. Double check part numbers.

I have not got under my truck like you have, but this is similar to a noise I have that started one or two months ago. I am close to an oil change, and I am having it checked out.
I’ve searched through tons of threads and you are the only person I believe that has captured/described a noise...
I thought someone might ask. I’m a purist. Now when I check the VIN (build sheet) for my truck through RAM it shows the trailer brake controller and LED bed lights. In the unlikely event I need my body computer restored these things would be restored as well.
I’ve run harnesses, added sensors...
I apologize for the slow reply.
I asked my local dealer if I purchased the kit if they would install it and they said yes. I purchased all the Mopar parts separately essentially creating my own kit. They could not tell the difference. Totally worth it in my opinion to have them install and...
I just installed the Mopar 82215698 body side moldings for my crew cab 6'4" bed. $250 plus tax free shipping on eBay.
This video was helpful for install tips and tricks.
I used sticky post-it notes for alignment instead of masking tape. Just draw a 4mm line along the post-it or crease it at...
I installed mine today. I found this short video super helpful (link below). The bolts are tight, but a 25 in breaker bar made easy work of it. Harder to torque when reinstalling the bolts with a 18 in torque wrench but not impossible. I like it. Time will tell. Oh, it’s the Mopar model $335...
