7-Way Wiring Recommendation for Fifth Wheel 7-Way in the Bed of 2001 Dodge Ram 2500
Question:
My 2001 Dodge Ram 2500 has a factory to tow package, but I bought it used and the quick connects are missing. Do you sell the connectors that work with this part? Should I remove the quick connect on the item you sell and re-splice or do you have another part that will work? From the pictures youll see that I need the complete set from trailer connector-to-wiring. Thanks!

Looks like somebody used quick splices to wire in the 7-way on your 2001 Dodge Ram and then when they removed the 7-way they just cut the wires leading to them. Thank you for the picture though as that helps me understand you setup very easily.
Since it sounds like you are trying to install a second 7-way in the truck bed of your truck the easiest solution would be the part # HM42137 that would install inline with the factory 7-way wiring harness.
