Tag light wiring help please

jonwalden68 · Feb 12, 2014

I just bought a 99 dodge ram 1500 I have the lights sockets and the wires coming from them but nothing to plug the connectors into? Also my factory trailer wiring looking funny didn't know if that could be were the harness went or what I'll enclose a pic of it just want to be able to hook up a 4 way trailer there . And I have the pig tails just no were to plug into wiring harness

I have these to plug in bulbs but no pig tail connectors that I can find to plug in

Your first picture is of the connector for the stock 7pin trailer harness. Could probably pick up a new male end at a junkyard.

For the tag lights, they are there, I just don't remember exactly remember where they are. I will look tomorrow for you if no one else has replied by then.

Thank you so much were could I buy a male 7 way to fit that

dodge dude94 · Feb 12, 2014

Sure. Probably the junkyard, but then again, I haven't actually looked for them online.

jonwalden68 · Feb 12, 2014

Would this work

dodge dude94 · Feb 12, 2014

Hard to tell, but it's possible. These trucks never had a 4 and 7 pin wire harness on them. The non-tow package trucks didn't have anything and the tow package had 7 pins. You had to use a 7-4pin adapter.

I'm still trying to figure where the pig tails plug in or if I need a harness or what? If you could find a pic of the male connector online that be great

They should be in the wiring harness that runs over to the pass side tail light. I can get you pix in the am, its snowing out now and pitch black out so not tonight.

jonwalden68 · Feb 12, 2014

Yea I'm trying to trace that wire but don't see any plug in for them

jonwalden68 · Feb 12, 2014

Will both the pigtail ends plug into passenger side wire

Merc225hp · Feb 12, 2014

Both plugs for the tag lights will be in the harness that I told you about. It runs from the driver side across the rear of the frame over to the pass side tail light.

jonwalden68 · Feb 12, 2014

I don't have a wire that runs across from driver to passenger the wires that's run to the tai lights go up and down frame rail but I don't have a place that crosses over

jonwalden68 · Feb 12, 2014

does the wire that runs across plug in were they connect to tail light connectors then has the tag light connector on it

dodge dude94 · Feb 12, 2014

^Sorta. Hope these help

Driver's side

Passenger's side

Tow hitch plug

I wish I could have gotten better pictures of the tag harnesses for you but the truck is parked on dirt and it was raining ice from the trees on me. lol Hope these help you.

jonwalden68 · Feb 12, 2014

I don't that that wire that goes across. Or any plugs for the tag light wires to plug into. Can I hardwire them into each side tail light? All I have is one wire on each side running in the plastic loom down the frame but no plugs for them

dodge dude94 · Feb 12, 2014

You might dig in the loom for the wires. Somebody may have stupidly cut the ends off.

jonwalden68 · Feb 12, 2014

I did see electrical tape on passenger side but I didn't notice any wires but I don't I still need the wire that runs across the bed from one tail light to other or does each tag light just plug into the sides?

Also can you just cut into the tail lights if I can't find were the plug went and tap into the power for running lights?

Merc225hp · Feb 12, 2014

Some photo's for you so you can start looking for the ends. Not the best photo's snow all under the truck was raining on me lol.
