How to Install 7-Way Connector on 2005 Dodge Ram 1500 with Factory 4-Way
Question:
Hi, My vehicle came stock with a 4 way connector. Is this the correct part?

Expert Reply:
I do have a solution for you, but the # HM40975-11933 will not work since your 2005 Dodge Ram Pickup did not come with a factory 7-Way trailer connector.
If what you're looking to do is upgrade your factory 4-Pole connector to a fully functioning 7-way, then what you need is the 7-Way RV Upgrade Kit for Trailer Brake Controller Installation # ETBC7. This will allow you to run your brake output, reverse light and 12V power wires, which aren't pre-wired from the factory on your truck.
