Great product if you plan to add multiple connectors on your trailer. Allows you to tie in the two connector cables into the wire harness of the trailer itself and have all the connections easy to access. Also allows you to add circuits as easily as crimping on some more ring terminals and adding the wires. Keeps all the connections neat and tidy. A must if you have brakes and plan to use then with a vehicle that has a brake controller module, and on a vehicle that has the flat four only connector. I can tow my flatbed with either of my trucks and connect the trailer to either connector with no adapters.

I was rewiring a trailer for a seven-prong harness, and used this junction box after watching a video on the etrailer site. Made the job easier, and now if I want to add some wiring, I can just go to the box and add it.

2001 Dodge Ram Pickup Accessories and Parts Questions
- It is possible that there is more than one fuse or possibly a relay related to the tow package running light circuit. Use the owner's manual and/or the legends on the in-cab and under the hood fuse panels to find all locations of fuses/relays related to the tow package wiring. I tried to find a copy online but was unsuccessful.
There could also be a problem on the wiring somewhere between the connector and where it terminates further forward on the truck. Look for damaged or...
view full answer... - As you can see by the accompanying diagram I added, a 6-way such as the Pollak # PK11609 does not have a function for reverse lights; that function is on a 7-way so you would not connect the wire you referenced to your trailer connector.
A 6-way has the following functions: 1) Tail/Running Lights 2) Left Turn/Stop 3) Right Turn/Stop 4) Brake Controller Output 5) 12V Power 6) Ground.
I have also added a link to a help article on wiring I highly recommend checking out.
view full answer... - I attached two pictures that shows what the harness on your 2001 Dodge Ram 2500 will look that you'll plug the # C57300 into. The first picture shows the connector without the cap on it, and the second shows it with the cap removed.
view full answer... - When a brake controller has been properly installed, it definitely shouldn't be tripping the ABS system on your 2001 Dodge 2500 and when this does happen it would lead me to believe that there's been a wire crossed. It sounds like when switching from a 6 pin to a 7 pin like the # 30717, blue brake control wire could've been tapped into the wrong circuit. If the brake controller has been newly installed, it's possible that the red wire from the brake controller has been tapped...
view full answer... - Sounds like the left turn signal circuit has shorted out to the right turn circuit and is not making its way to the left light assembly at all.
Basically you just will need to go over all of the wiring and make sure that each wire is connected to the correct circuits starting with the turn signal circuits. The connections will need to be clean and secure without any exposed wire.
view full answer... - The Curt Venturer Trailer Brake Controller, part # C51110, is designed for 1 to 3 axles. If you have either 1 or 2 axles (2-4 brake assemblies), the 20-amp circuit breaker will be fine. If you have 3 axles (6 brake assemblies), you would need a 30-amp circuit breaker.
The circuit breaker attaches to the black wire coming from the brake controller and is placed between the controller and the battery power. I have linked you to a video that shows an installation of the 37185...
view full answer... - I will be happy to help. Since the issue is only present when your truck and trailer are connected; and the truck flashers work fine without the trailer connected, I would think the problem is associated with the trailer. It sounds like using the flashers while your truck and trailer connected overloads the system.
The first think to check is to make sure that there is a good solid connection at the vehicle and trailer plug. Also, inspect the plugs and make sure they are in...
view full answer... - When adding trailer wiring to a vehicle or if a vehicle has it from the factory the harness itself is grounded to the vehicle and the connector on the trailer side is grounded to the trailer frame.
To add trailer wiring to your 2001 Dodge Ram you can use # 118329 to add a 4-Way flat connector. I have included a link to the installation instructions and a video showing a typical installation.
To add a 7-Way you would first install the 4-Way and then use isntallation kit...
view full answer... - It sounds like the Jayco trailer has a 4-Way flat trailer connector and you are using a 7-Way to 4-Way adapter to plug it into your truck. Since you know you have power at the truck connector, plug in the adapter without the trailer connected and check for power on the output side of the adapter. If it does not have power then there is something wrong inside the adapter and it will need to be replaced with a new one such as # PK12716.
If your adapter also has power like it...
view full answer... - Yes, the Hopkins Multi-Tow Trailer Connector Adapter part # HM47675 that you referenced would work on the 7-way of your 2001 Dodge Ram 1500. It would simply plug into the 7-way socket and would be good to go.
view full answer... - Based on the rust and corrosion in your picture yes it's time for a new connector. The part # PK11609 would make a great option.
I attached an install video for you to check out as well.
view full answer... - Your truck does not have the factory tow package wiring so you'd need to go a different route to complete the trailer wiring. You'd need the 4-way kit part # C55329 to provide the trailer wiring and then you'd need to convert to a 7-way with the part # 37185 for if you don't have a trailer with brakes or the part # ETBC7 for if the trailer does have brakes with a brake controller like the Brake EVN # TK63VR.
view full answer... - Based on what you described the correct adapter is the part # 47435 as this will plug into a 6-way on your truck and allow a 7-way from a trailer to plug into.
