2006 Factory tow plug
So I bought my truck used and discovered the previous owner hacked the stock wiring at the rear bumper and removed the original factory plug (both sides of the bumper, the original 7 pin on the outside of the bumper is gone, as well as the plug that connected it to the wires). I'd like to return the wiring to stock, so I can buy and install the proper "T" connection to run wiring up to the bed. His frankenstein version was a chop and splice to get to the bed. I'd like to avoid splicing into those wires. Anyone know a source for the two plugs?
Thanks

Here you go:
http://accessories.etrailer.com/sear...%20pole%20plug
The bumper side can have both 4 and seven if you desire.. the in-bed harness is on the second line (part# is in my 05 sig) call them on the OEM harness connector..
The dealer will charge at least twice these prices..

Mine had the same problem.
If you do wind up splicing here are the color codes:
pin1 ground BLACK/ORANGE
pin2 electric brake DARK GREEN
pin3 park lamps BROWN
pin4 +12v RED/VIOLET
pin5 left turn YELLOW
pin6 right turn LIGHT GREEN
pin7 back up WHITE/LIGHT GREEN
can't remember but I think I found this on another discussion here.

Nice work, thanks guys. Gotta love DTR.
I'm confusing even myself on this now, but correct me if I am wrong. I need to buy this:
Pollak Replacement 7-Pole, RV-Style Trailer Connector Socket for Dodge/Chrysler
PK11893-11933
Then I add this:
Valley Fifth Wheel and Gooseneck Wiring Harness with 7-Pole - Dodge with Factory Tow Package
V30137
That should get me hooked up from the bumper to the 5th wheel, with a rectangular factory plug dangling on the back of the bumper. Now I need the plug to connect the truck's wiring to that rectangular plug. Any idea on that one? I can't seem to find it on the etrailer website.
Thanks

Another option would be to install one of these at the back and work form it:

That would be correct or you can put in one of the 4/7 combo units (not sure on the fitment = might have to make the hole bigger)
Then I add this:
Valley Fifth Wheel and Gooseneck Wiring Harness with 7-Pole - Dodge with Factory Tow Package
V30137
Piece of cake to install.. (well after you rebuild the end)

That is the one you need to call them on.. it is on one side of the V30137 so they should have it..

Those are the parts you need.
That rectangular 10-way plug should be near the rear axle.
It's a permanent part of the factory harness.
If it's been removed then you'll have to either replace the harness from the dealer or scavenge one from a used parts lot.

It has been removed, gotta love people who think they are taking shortcuts!!! For a few bucks, he could have bought a T connector and run a nice setup to the bed and bumper.

Yeah he spent more time doing that than just plugging in the in bed harness.. the longest part of the job is threading it and installing the wire ties..
Did you call them on the end?
