Parts Needed to Convert 6 Pole to 7 Pole
Question:
Greetings, My 1999 Dodge Ram 1500 currently has a 6-way with only three wires coming out of it. Id like to install the ETBC7 but that is in conjunction with an existing 4-way flat. What do you suggest? Can I start from scratch and not even touch what is there? Thanks a lot! James

Expert Reply:
You can test the wires on your 6 pole plug so that you know what each of them does. Then cut and splice the wires into the appropriate wires on an # ETBC7. The wires on your 6 pole are most likely the right turn signal, left turn signal, and running lights.
I have included a link to a helpful article we have for changing wiring.
