7 Point Towing Harness trouble

[Kyle Pentz]

I just bought a 2013 ram 1500 with a tow package. It has the 7 and 4 pole combo connector. Someone destroyed the wiring harness/pins that lead into the 7 point connector. I was having trouble finding a part number for the wiring harness. If you have any other suggestions let me know. I appreciate the feedback!

It would be great if you had a photo of the damage so we could see what you actually need. Failing that, how about you check the "Curt" product line. You maybe able to find a harness kit from them that you could splice in,..or simply plug n play, to repair the damaged harness trouble. I just used one of there "Tee Connector" kits to wire in a receiver hitch brake light unit. Here is a link to their site. Just scroll down on the the left side to "Original Equipment Replacement Connectors" for you model year (at least I hope):

Above is the Curt link...but I actually purchased from E-Trailer. Here's their link:

Thanks for the suggestion. Looks like that may be the easiest solution. They offer a replacement socket which is the damaged portion. I just prefer the clean look of an OEM harness.

Thanks for the help TigreST

Your VIN # and a half decent parts person at the local dealer should be able to find the factory harness for you. But maybe your like me. I like going in pre armed with part number info to ensure I know what I’m getting.
