    All I found was the harness in the front and the rear has an aftermarket harness attached to the taillights, nothing coming from the front. I just purchased the truck because it called for factory trailer hitch with brake “ surprise “ I was wrong and car fax lied.

    My apologies, yes since am new I am still figuring this site out. It was a question for help. Is there no harness from the front to the trailer hitch?
    I also have the home link to open the garage door and was not working, after taking apart I noticed it had been disconnected so I went to plug it in and the wires on the board were broken so I solder them but it still doesn’t light up, more help please. Thank you.

    A factory option has a secondary trans cooler and a wire harness that runs to the front to accommodate a brake controller. You probably don't have a factory tow setup.

    I found the factory harness by the driver side kick plate and the truck does have a trans cooler, it all seems like it should but no harness running to the rear of the truck. Thanks for the response.
