Hi. I am new here. I have a 2005 Durango SLT that I was hoping that someone might be able to help me with. Please forgive my ignorance. I have two issues currently:
My Durango came with the factory towing package, with the 7-blade and 4 pin connectors. The bracket has been damaged and I need to replace them. I made the mistake of cutting the wires in front of the connector and now I don't know how to connect it back to my aftermarket socket.
I bought a Hopkins #47185 wiring kit, which has both the 4-pin and 7-blade sockets. I connected the 4-pin to the one on the Durango. But, that leaves 8 wires that need to be assigned. Would anyone have a diagram of the rectangle plug that I destroyed? I need to figure out where to connect each of the wires (I have the wiring diagram on the new one, just don't want to make a mistake on which one). Also, there are two black wires. What's up with that? And which one is the electric brakes?
I also would like to add bluetooth connectivity to my factory stereo. There is no aux cable, but I was hoping someone might direct me to an adapter or something I can plug into the back of the stereo to add an aux input (that I can find a bluetooth adapter to plug into it). I have checked around and don't think anyone makes anything like this. Any advice? Am I just out of luck without replacing the entire stereo?
Thank you for your help.
