Today on this 2009 Dodge Ram 3500 Series we will be installing the fifth wheel and goose neck wiring harness part number V30137. The first thing I want to note before we get started is that our harness comes in two separate pieces. We have got the 7-pole which is what we are going to be mounting in to the bed of the truck and then we have got the wiring harness itself. The wiring harness has two different ends on it. The one end of the wiring harness has a larger round plug and that is what is going to plug directly into the back of our 7-pole. The other end which we are going to feed down through the opening in between the bed and the fender well has the two square ports. The first thing I am going to do is drill out the hole in the bed for the 7-pole. We are going to be using a two inch hole saw to accomplish this. Next we are going to feed the square ports through the hole that we just drilled down underneath the vehicle. Then we want to plug in the round port into the back of the 7-pole and we just want to make sure we hear the snap so that we know that the two ends are engaged. 01:00
The harness kit provides some 1/ 8 inch self tapping screws to mount the plug with. I am going to use hex headed self tapping screws. Next we will go underneath the vehicle and we want to disconnect the plug in the back side of our 7-pole. If the plug in to the back side of the 7-pole is the square port you will need to use part number V30137. If the plug end on the back side of your 7-pole is the round port you will want to use part number V30133. There is a red tab which is hard to see on the top of the connector that we need to release first so I am just going to take a flat headed screwdriver and push that over. We are pushing that towards the driver side of the vehicle and then there is a little tab on top as well that we need to press in and then we can just pull back. We next want to take our wiring harness and route it over the frame. We want to make sure that we avoid any possible pinch points. The only thing left to do is tie up the excess wires that we have in our wiring harness. The wiring harness kit provides cable ties to do this. That will conclude the installation of the fifth wheel and goose neck wiring harness part number V30137 on a 2009 Dodge Ram 3500 Series.
