Question:
I installed CURT 57300 Dodge OEM Harness Dodge 3500 Ram Van. Install went fine, but there is no power at connector—I used a CURT 7 blade socket tester. Anyway, when I checked at fuse box under hood, I discovered the “Trailer Tow Class 3 Only” spot did not have relay installed. I tried to test C57300 by using adjacent relay same part#, but trailer relay spot did not have internal contacts for the relay. It’s just plastic openings. Any ideas on how to proceed.? Thanks.

Expert Reply:
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.
