Bottomed out now shits hanging

Hello,

I went mudding for the first time in my 2012 Tacoma TRD-Off-road and bottomed out. After I got home I checked the undercarriage and saw this electrical? cord hanging down near the rear bumper. Anyone knowledgeable on what it is, and if there is any action for me to take?

I'm going to wash my truck after I find out what this damn cord is and if it's okay to get wet.

Thank you.
Dan

 

It's to hook a trailer up to. It's your trailer harness. You busted it and that's hanging down

 

Thanks Buell.

I'll cover it in plastic when I wash today.

I don't have a trailer but I'd prefer to keep it working just in case.

What would you do?

Dan

 

Don't wash it! it looks pretty good with that new color...

 

I would buy a relocation bracket to mount it somewhere else.

Check with @bullaculla he makes them.

 

I did this a while back: https://www.tacomaworld.com/threads/diy-relocate-trailer-harness.114216/
or you could go this route: https://www.tacomaworld.com/threads/trailer-harness-relocate-bracket.282311/

But first you might need to buy the cover again

 

Awesome thanks everyone.

And yeah I'm digging the new red dirt color. Maybe I'll just wash the underbelly

 

I smashed mine in 2007... the first mod I did to the truck. I just zip tied it up to the bottom behind the bumper out of the way. Always worked for me and gave me more clearance!

 

Use the search tool, lots of great info about this, you are not alone. I used the relocate bracket because it's so easy, but there are other good options.

I remember reading this a short while back, when I broke mine.
