Replacing The Wiring Harness On A Demco Kar Kaddy SS  

Updated 07/25/2023 | Published 07/24/2023



Question:

I need to replace the wiring harness on a Demco KarKaddy SS. It came unplugged while traveling and the wires are frayed and not working.

Expert Reply:

I do have a wiring harness you can use, but we do not carry a wiring harness specifically for the Kar Kaddy SS # DM9713045. I recommend using instead the Hopkins # HM48240. This will be the same "wishbone" style harness that you have now, so you can easily remove what is left of the old harness, and splice this in in its place. It comes with 20' of wire so you may need to cut it down to size. You can use a few heat shrink butt connectors # like # DW05745-5.
