Trailer Harness
#2
Yes, but when something unexpected happens and that cheapo harness doesn't provide adequate circuit protection for your Front Control Module/TIPM, you'll think 175 bucks is very cheap....and I can promise you the unexpected WILL happen. It always does. Whoever puts it in make sure they teather the existing wiring harness so it doesn't fall down on the tailpipe.

I put one on my Maggie
I bought one online - easy to find - just google for it. It was custom fit - all the plugs worked, etc. but installation was a bit of a pain. As you prob know, the Mag has separate brake and turn signals, so, to convert that to a cheapo trailer which use the same bulb and filament, a relay is needed - which is the heart of the kit. It worked fine but only lasted a year before the relay quit and the lights no longer worked. I ended up just hard wiring it so that the brake lights worked but the trailer doesn't have turn signals. I might get a ticket some day...

I bought a kit at my local NAPA store and painstakingly installed it in a Saturday afternoon. It has worked flawlessly for 2 years now. I would also take TNtech's advise about teathering the harness. I secured all the wiring and mounted a small clip that holds the wiring connector to the 'hidden hitch' frame when not it use so it doesn't hang down & get snagged/dragged.
