Hey All,
Been a very long time since I've been here but I can't find anything or anyone who has replaced the vehicle side towing wire harness. (2015 Big Horn 1500 3.6L)
I am popping the tow fuse (29) and I can't find a short so thought I'd replace the oem harness and hopefully fix my issue. I've found one for $135 but was hoping someone here has dealt with the same issue and can help me out before I drop the cash.
Thanks in advance!

Have you isolated the harness from the towing connector on the bumper? I had an F150 where the connector cracked and shorted internally, blowing fuses.

If you suspect it's in the truck part of the wiring harness, inspect the harness around the back side of the driver's side front wheel others have reported damage in that area.

Not sure if this will help, but it looks like it's a direct path to the 7 way connector from fuse 29. White\Brown wire
