Thanks

Andy

etrailer has the best, but also any parts store, try and find one that goes into the wiring harness instead of cutting wires, the one form Uhaul I got first was like that and shorted out. NAPA should have them

NAPA BK7552056 trailer wiring kit 67.99 here easy plug in no wire cutting

FYI the kit costs $100 online, or a little less if your local dealer will give you the 25% shop discount.

The part number is 82207248.

Was it a 9 pin kit or 7?

I would also recommend the wiring harness from etrailer. Quick ship and it plugs right in to your rear light assembly and as mentioned above, my uhaul one shorted out on me as well and never had one problem with the one from etrailer. It was also the cheapest that I found and came with very good instructions.
Good Luck.

I got a Hoppy harness from PepBoys. It was ~$40 and it took almost a week for it to come in; it wasn't in stock when I ordered it. I'm happy with it so far. Plugging in the harness is much easier than trying to test and splice the right wires.
