    Busted pin on hitch electrical. Sadly it's the power pin (black). Took it apart and want to replace the piece shown in the Pic here. Are these pieces universal? Can I take one out of a different 7 pin connector and put it in my Tacoma harness?

    Was it weakened by corrosion?

    Likely I don't recall it ever being bent. A lot of road salt in the winter up here.

    The rest of the harness appears clean and corrosion free. It is well enclosed by covers

    Similar thing happened to me. Throw that one out. You can pick up a replacement connector at just about any auto parts store.
