How To Secure a 7-Way Harness Connector Without Grey Clip
Updated 03/16/2015 | Published 03/13/2015
Question:
This kit should include an extra clip to lock in the splice used between the original plug and the original housing. I returned the grey clip to the original plug and the splice but I need another one to lock the new splice to the original housing. Do you sell a replacement clip or do I have to buy a brand new plug so I can take the clip out and use it? I am concerned the new connector could come lose or back out without that locking clip in place. The attached picture shows the one grey clip reattached and the missing one.

I have a solution for you, but we don't carry the replacement grey clip you referenced for securing a 7-way connector together. Instead you would want to return the grey clip to the 7-way at the rear of your vehicle and then use a zip tie to secure the 7-way connectors together like the picture I attached.
