Question:
I have a 2017 Ram 1500 and I had bought the hitch and wiring through you 3-4 years ago. I have a 7 pin connector and I wanted to pull power from the center pin for back up lights only. Do you sell a plug that would do just that function? Thanks

Hey Brian. So it is standard for the center pin to be the reverse light circuit on a 7-way. We do not carry any 7-way cord made for only reverse lights so what I would do is just make one using a 7-way plug like part # PK12706 then get as many feet of 12/14 gauge wire that you need to reach your lights. We sell 14 gauge wire by the foot as part # DW02414-1.
Why do you need a 7-way with reverse lights only? Just curious because if you can tell me a bit more about what you have going on I might be able to give you more helpful info. Let me know.
