Just as a heads up: The junction box comes with a cover for the plug that these plug into. So I made my own plug out of the cover with a couple parts from other plugs i had laying around and sealed

Does anyone have any suggestions on how to convert the cover into the harness connector? I got a set on eBay (part # 23295942) that was supposed to fit '14 - '16s but when I went to install them today I realized the plug is a 6 pin and not 8 pin as it should be. Because I purchased them 6 weeks ago eBay cant help me and the seller is no longer a registered eBay user (shocking). I can drill out the back to get the wires through but I'm not sure how to get them out of the one harness and into the correct pins on the cover without destroying them. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

I had the same problem from an ebay seller. I got lucky and was able to get all my money and doing back. I ended up going with an after market from xglow and am very happy. Took longer to install but I wanted to be able to turn it on at the back of the truck.

I believe this is a kit for the 2016 only. Rather than hacking it up I might just sell it and order the correct set. Wish I had tried installing it sooner to discover the issue.

Does anyone even know what this type of connector is called? The instructions just say 8-way connector but I've been searching for an hour and can't find a precise name for it.

The existing pins are pretty hard t get out as they are usually barbed so they go in from the back and cant be pushed out when assembling to the mating pins.

If you feel like hacking it up cut it off and solder or crimp on new female pins and epoxy them in the drilled blank plug.

There are a few examples like cmyss link above.

 

Don't know another name but connector, waterproof connector?

Thanks for the advice. I agree that clipping the wires and adding new terminals would likely be much easier than trying to get the wires out and into the new connector intact.

Thanks. I was originally going to try to reuse the pins and was trying to figure out how to remove them but it looks like doing what you did with some new pins is my best bet.

Thank you Patrick. I'm usually pretty good at finding things but this one eluded me. Now I have the part number for the correct harness if my attempt at using the plug goes wrong. Edited by je1279

      Gas Prices

      By Atlas · Posted

      I understand that. The price is what it is, though. The price is what oil costs today, where our choices have led us, where supply is, and where demand is, in the market that is. Speculation is for futures, what we think the price will be, but with incomplete information at the time the price is forecast. I know you know this, but you appear to be intent on making a secondary point here about what you think the market could or should be, if only other choices.   In 1975 it became illegal to export US Crude. I'm conflicted on what the best answer is. Free markets allow export in pursuit of profit. But there is also a lot to gain by producing and consuming our own oil here. How do you reconcile it?

      That sir is a choice. And even if it were not for all the reasons stated, this disruption has zero to do with the reality of the actual logistics and everything to do with the greed of SPECULATION. Spot price is irrelevant to reality.

      What I think you're saying is there is supply here at home, and in Venezuela, and we could ease pricing if only it were favorable to do so.   Well, yes?   But that's not the current market. Supply isn't what could someday exist, if only, it's what producers are willing to produce and sell at a certain price point.   The national price of single family homes would come way down if we'd just slap together a few million homes this summer.   RAM and GPUs would get a lot cheaper if we just set up some factories to produce a bunch more and stopped using it to build out AI data centers.

      The turn signal/multifunction switch is faulty.  I've seen a few of these go bad at work.
