tail lamp positive lock electrical connection corroded...
Hello, I have a 1999 dodge durango, 5.2 and it has the tow package installed, which entails having a pigtail in between the OEM positive lock electrical connection that normally plugs in directly to the tail lamp assembly. Anyway, I don't believe the dealership greased the electrical connections and they are completely corroded, or perhaps I'm at fault for not removing them and greasing them occasionally, but I only started working on my own rigs about 3 years ago, and now the connections is totally corroded and I can't even get the connections apart even after having tried PB inside the wiring. Where can I get a new positive lock electrical connector to splice into the OEM wiring harness or what do I do? Thanks for any help or suggestions.

Cut it out and replace it. Waterproof and use the right dielectric grease on the connection this time around if your waterproofing doesn't cut it.

Ok, so cut it out and replace it by purchasing another whole trailer wiring kit of course shrink wrapping and waterproof tape around the whole bundle once it's back in place, correct? My real question was where to get a new connector.... I wasn't sure if OEM sells the actual positive lock connectors or if I would have to search feverishly for aftermarket ones. I looked around and all I could find with the proper connector on it is the trailer wiring kit for my rig. The pigtail kits appear to be pretty cheap at least.
