Default 7 Ping Trailer harness

Anyone know the part number for a replacement trailer harness? Mine was completely smashed and needs replacing. Not confident I will find one in a junk yard so figured I would just buy new. Currently have a brake controller 4 pin connector & another connector under the truck by the spare tire.

Thanks!

Oh...this is for a 97 CC 5.2 4x4.

You talking about the plug that would go to the trailer? Is it the factory harness? It would say Chrysler and have the Penastar if it was.

Just want to make sure because if it was factory or a factory accesory (They are the same) that you got the right one. You could also have a hard-wired custom harness where you'd have to hard-wire a new connector in.

Factory. Already verified that the truck was equipped with factory trailer harness.

Yes, factory harness that the trailer hooks up to. Still have the factory connectors near the hitch.

Ok, you can use this:

Or this:

The second one just adds a 4-wire flat connector on addition to the 7-RV. But it also requires a diff. mount, which is included.

Yes I had seen those, but neither of them look to have the hook up for the brake controller. Look like they are only for lights/blinkers.

Those hook up to the factory connector at the spare tire. The brake controller is in your cab?
I'm confused. What do you want again?

Yes, have brake controller in the cab.

Looking to replace what came from the factory. There is factory wiring in the cab for the brake controller that goes back to the spare tire. The original one had 2 connectors. One 4 pins (brake controller) other one has connector same as the ones you linked to.

That is all assuming that i am even correct. I know at least I am correct on what was originally hooked up to what. I do know that the harness that i used to have before I took it out both the 4 pin and other connector hooked to the same harness.
