How To Secure a 7-Way Harness Connector Without Grey Clip
Question:
This kit should include an extra clip to lock in the splice used between the original plug and the original housing. I returned the grey clip to the original plug and the splice but I need another one to lock the new splice to the original housing. Do you sell a replacement clip or do I have to buy a brand new plug so I can take the clip out and use it? I am concerned the new connector could come lose or back out without that locking clip in place. The attached picture shows the one grey clip reattached and the missing one.

Expert Reply:
I have a solution for you, but we don't carry the replacement grey clip you referenced for securing a 7-way connector together. Instead you would want to return the grey clip to the 7-way at the rear of your vehicle and then use a zip tie to secure the 7-way connectors together like the picture I attached.
