How did you guys tie in the reverse wire? Did you run them off the directly of the reverse lights or is there a way to connect it to the harness. My harness comes tomorrow. Super excited

If that harness connects into the 7 pin harness then reverse is included in those pins. I did mine without a harness and tied directly into the 7 pin wiring.

If we’re talking about the Putco harness, then you don’t have to worry about the 7 pin connector, or tapping into anything else other than where it’s supposed to go. And that is on each side of the truck, where the connector for the tail lights is. Then the harness has a dedicated connector for the backup lights that goes to the wire in the light bar. Simple, really

Quick question, I think I know the answer but anyway. I installed the tailgate light using the putco harness. My left blinker goes on when I turn on right and same as other side. Is it that the harness needs to be turned around?

Maybe you just have the light bar itself, installed backwards. It’s pretty common. The connections for the bar are usually on the left, driver’s side of the truck as you look from the rear.That doesn’t exclude that you can’t swap the harness around. Good luck.

I made the connection on the left side. I guess I’ll just swap the harness around

Update: I swapped the harness around and all is good. I feel really dumb sometimes

OPT7 has a tow package module to deactivate the tow package when not towing.

That is only for FORD 2015 + only

Hello everyone! I am on my 3rd Sierra and on my third Opt7 sequential tailgate bar. My newest sierra is a 2021 1500 AT4. I am reading the putco harness will plug right in with my Opt7 tailgate bar. Is this true even on the AT4 model? My last 2 I was able to hook into the trailer hook up and now it looks like that is no longer possible. I also have the trailer package. Any info would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

Putco makes the led blade tailgate light I'm using, and it plugged right in under the truck in front of the rear bumper.

I know that doesn't completely answer your question, but hopefully it helps.

Putco Blade tailgate light bar and the Putco harness works great without using the trailer plug. Perhaps you can modify the Opt7 wires to match Putco harness if it's not a direct fit.
