Luckily I have AlfaOBD (it's a godsend). If I don't have the clockspring with the connector do you know what part number it is? Tho i feel like it might have it as the older trucks tend to have connectors for features they don't have to simplify assembly.

These are just the switches. Tho if the switches are dead I can get these as replacement. But i'm set for now just need the switches to arrive, i programmed remote steering wheel switches in alfa obd and i know what swc box i need.

Had you scrolled down, you'd have seen the Mopar harness under "Frequently bought together."

Here it is...

Edit: So I went back again and noticed the years for this harness start at 2013. Not sure if this will fit, yet they list it as frequently bought with those controls. You might want to ask the Mopar store on Amazon to be sure or at least do a VIN search.

Yeah that's why I said it didn't exist as it was for the 4th gen not the 3rd gen. That's to out of date as those also include dashboard screen controls as well. Chrysler loves to change connectors all the time as well, like the XJ where EVERY year has a different connector on the car for the overhead console, but the overhead console side is the same! Makes no sense.

Well this project is going to hell real fast. The threads to my steering column are messed up (they were before I even took the bolt out based on feel) and so i tried to use a tap to fix them and now the tap broke in the column shaft. Why can't they use nuts like normal people. Messed up the back trim as well as i couldnt get the wheel off to remove it.
