Pinout / Wiring Diagram for the tow hitch connector.

[DailyRam]

Hey everyone. I have a 2014 Ram with tow package, and I am looking to tap into the wires for the hitch plug in.
Does anyone have a listing of what wires power what that they can share?

What wires are you looking to tap? You can use a harness like this so you don't ha e to cut the factory harness by the 7 pin plug at the bumer: CURT 56584 5-Pin Trailer Wiring Harness https://www.amazon.com/dp/B007EA6WQU/
A lot of guys use this harness to put a LED tailgate light bar in with.
The lid of the 7 pin shows you what pin goes to where. This PDF shows the entire wiring schematic

Thanks guys, I am looking to Tap into the following wires ( actually soldering them in):
Brake Light Hi, Tail Light Low, and Reverse.
I need to replace my multi-meter, so I was hoping someone could help out with the wire colors for those functions. Turn left, and turn right are less important.
That PinOut diagram should do the trick, just want to make certain I dont mess with the wrong wires...

There is no one wire for the brake light in the trailer wiring, it is either Left Turn/Stop or Right Turn/Stop. Your brake light will blink of you use one or the other. You would need to add diodes to put them together or the trailer lighting won't work correctly.
There is a White/Purple wire under the truck by the spare tire that is a just a brake light. It's commonly used for toppers with a third brake light.

Okay, I have the adapter to split to left and right.
So I guess i just need the Left, Right, running light and reverse.

Use that harness I noted above(see Amazon link), the five pin out provides all of those wires and the ground. Cut the plug off if you want to solder the wires.

I'm guessing this is for some sort of tailgate light? If you have a trailer that needs a five pin plug, aside from the wire harness above, they make 7 to 5 pin adapters.

Make note that 4 and 5 pin trailer plugs are interchangeable, you can plug one into the other. The fifth pin is reverse (it's used for surge brake overrides normally).

Tailgate light and additional reverse light pods.

I have the dual connector in my bumper with the 7 pin connector.

I picked up a new multimeter, so should be good to go.

Crash, I picked up that T-Harness. Def. Made the job easier. Thanks for the suggestion.
