Thanks for the photo. We don't have anything that is compatible with the harness you show. I believe you disconnected the harness that should be right next to the trailer wiring harness. Please see attached video at the 1:33 mark. If you don't have that alternative harness then you don't have then you will need to use the Hopkins Plug-In Simple Vehicle Wiring Harness with 4-Pole Flat Trailer Connector # HM40285 instead of the # C56306 in the video. If that is the case you will then need to add # ETBC7 to get a 7-way connection.
