I destroyed the factory housing that goes around the 7-pin connector and bolts the connector into place on the factory hitch. Does anyone know if I can buy just the mounting housing for the conector. I really hope I don't have to buy a whole new harness just for a $5 piece of plastic.

You may be able to use this to redo your harness:

or this one may be closer to the Nissan plug type:

is this what you need? I have mine from my frontier when I changed out the plug.

That looks like it. What do you want for it?

 

[chad]

$20? Mostly to cover shipping.

 

[travhale]

Let me look at it a little more in detail to make sure that all that I need. I'll get back with you tomorrow afternoon, deal?

 

[chad]

Sounds good.

When you get ready to replace it, be sure and take a look atr the link in mikekrus' post.
You won't have to replace it again.

Thanks, I've looked at it. I agree, it's in a terrible location.

Chad, I think that's what I need. I mean I have the plug part, it just the plastic housing that's all busted up. I'm going to call my dealer and see how much a new one might cost (if they even sell it).. if it's too much or they don't offer it i'll take it. How would you like payment?

Here are pics of the damage.

 

[chad]

Do the wires separate from the plug where the arrow is? Mine came apart easily. If you take the wire harness connector off, it should look just like the connector in the picture I posted.

I don't think the dealer sells just the plug. I think you have to buy the trailer wiring kit with harness and everything.

We should be able to do the payment via paypal.

 

[travhale]

chad, i'll take it if you still have it. let me know.

 

[chad]

I do still have it. The only issue is I won't be down in the US for 2-3 weeks for cheap shipping (unless you're in Canada). It will probably be $25 just for shipping. I'd want $35 and I could have it in the mail tomorrow. Let me know.

I can wait a few weeks for the original $20. I'm not in a hurry.

A decent option would also be to get this plug and use the wire harness adapters from your broken 7-pin plug (cut the ends off the new one and solder the 2 harnesses together).

The $10 plugs where you feed the wires through and use the wire clamps let all kinds of moisture in and don't last very long. This one is sealed on the back where the wires go into the plug. And you get 4-pin and 7-pin in a round mount hole for doing the bumper relocation mod.

It's actually cheaper on amazon.

Just found this. I wonder if it actually fits? You could be the first to try it out. It's supposed to be a direct factory replacement for the plug.
