Yikes! Destroyed my trailer harness connection!

The good news: I successfully dragged a 500 lb stump off my property. The bad: I backed up too far and hit it, completely destroying the waterproof cover for my trailer harness. The flange attached to the truck I could fix, but the little door with gasket just exploded. It seems to have been an integral part of the end of the trailer harness....sort of a plastic adapter about 6 inches long at the end of the harness.....does anyone know if I can buy this plastic part or do I have to replace the entire harness....oh my. Me 1, Stump 2.

 

Well what did you do that for??

 

Probably had a bit to do with the several scotch and waters I had before.....

 

Those things are meant to be destroyed. Otherwise, Toyota would have put them someplace less stupid.

 

Buy a $10 replacement at the auto parts store and pop a 2" hole in the bumper with a hole saw next to the license plate. This should be everyone's first mod

 

Yes, I did think of that. I may just keep it wrapped and zip tied behind the bumper. I rarely use it...,.

 

Do you have a pic of this mod?

 

x2! I am on my second set and it's been dangling maybe next time

 

I'm interested in this mod as well.

 

I'm on phone so can't reference threads but use the search function and look for "trailer harness relocate" that should get you going in the right direction

 

I need to buy some angle brackets and do a flip on mine. I saw someone on here selling them made up, but not in a while.

This is what I did.

 

Thanks for the link, I am going to drill the bumper and move it up.

 

I did exactly what was mentioned above after I snapped mine off. I popped a hole in the bumper and used a universal harness from autozone.

 

Wrecked mine the first time i wheeled my truck so I bought a new plug and reinstalled it where one of the license plate lights was.

 

this! did the same thing to mine over a year ago. There is still plenty of light from the license plate light on the right side to view the plate at night.
