Installation of a Fifth Wheel and Gooseneck Wiring Harness on a 2012 Dodge Ram


Today on our 2012 Dodge Ram 2500, we are going to be installing the Pollock fifth wheel and gooseneck T-Connector with seven-pole wiring part number PK11893-11932. First, we need to begin by finding a suitable location for our seven-pole in the bed. Just here past the cut out in the bed behind the drivers side wheel well is where we are going to mount our sub pole connector. First step will be drilling a pilot hole. Ill take my eight-inch bit which will be the same as the pilot hole for hole saw that we will need to cut out. Now I can go underneath and check to make sure its not going to run into anything.

As you can see with our bit in place we have plenty of clearance to go ahead and make our larger hole with our hole saw. Using out hole saw we will now go ahead and drill out so that our socket will fit through the hole. Now with our hole drilled out you can see how our socket is going to mount. However first we need to go ahead and take and route our wires and assemble our connector. First, we will take our wire route it up through the hole from underneath.

Next, we will take our connector and wiring chart, put each pin in the back of the socket going one through seven however quick tack tip before you complete installing all of them I recommend install the center pin as it can be very difficult if all the outer pins have already been connected. Each of these locations is matched in fine print on the back of the connector. We are going to start with number one the red wire then well install number two the white wire, three our blue wire, four the green wire then Ill skip to number seven my yellow wire seven pin then well go back to five the black wire and number six the brown wire. Now with all my pins in place well take the blue lock ring and install it locking each one of our pins in place. Now we can go ahead, and take the connector and lock it in with the back of our seven-pole plug.

With that down, well go ahead, and take our self-tapping screws and secure it to the side of the truck bed. Now with our seven-pole secured we can go ahead and go underneath, well route our wires over to the back of the bumper, well be making connection with the manufacturers wiring and secure our wiring along the way. Now that our wire is routed over behind the bumper, well go ahead and disconnect the connector from the manufacturers seven-pole connection. Now well take the T-Connector portion of our wiring and plug one side to the back of the manufacturers seven-pole connector and the other into the back of the manufacturers seven-pole. Now with all our connections made well go ahead and take some black zip ties to secure our wiring.

With that done this will complete the installation of our Pollock fifth wheel and gooseneck T-Connector with seven-pole wiring, part number PK11893-11932 on our 2012 Dodge Ram 2500.
