Yes, Curt part 55317 is designed for Dodge Dakota. It is also compatible with Dodge Pickup, Dodge Ram Fullsize, Dodge Ramcharger, and Plymouth Trailduster.
Yes, the 55317 T-connector is compatible with Dodge Ram Fullsize, as well as Dodge Dakota, Dodge Pickup, Dodge Ramcharger, and Plymouth Trailduster.
The 55317 T-connector includes cable ties to secure loose wires. The manual does not specify the quantity of cable ties or list any other included hardware.
The taillight wiring harness is located on the driver's side along the frame rail. You will find connectors that match those on the T-connector.
On the driver's side, separate the vehicle's taillight connectors carefully without damaging the locking tabs. Insert the T-connector end with the yellow wire between the separated connectors.
Route the T-connector end with the green wire to the passenger side, taking care to avoid areas that may cut or pinch the wire. Separate the passenger-side taillight connectors without damaging the locking tabs, then insert the green wire T-connector end between them, as you did on the driver's side.
Route the 4-flat connector to the center of the vehicle and secure it in a convenient location that is out of the way. Use the cable ties provided to secure any loose wires.
Before drilling, verify that miscellaneous items hidden behind or under any surface are not present. This will avoid damage to hidden components and prevent personal injury.
The manual identifies the T-connector as having a yellow wire end for the driver's side and a green wire end for the passenger side, but does not specify which trailer light functions (brake, turn, ground, etc.) these wires control. Consult the vehicle's wiring diagram or contact Curt Manufacturing for this information.
When separating the vehicle's connectors, handle them carefully and do not damage the locking tabs. Route the T-connector wires to avoid areas that may cut or pinch them.
The 55317 is designed for Dodge Dakota, Dodge Pickup, Dodge Ram Fullsize, Dodge Ramcharger, and Plymouth Trailduster.
The 55317 includes cable ties to secure loose wires. No other hardware or tools are listed in the manual.
The manual includes a warning to verify hidden items before drilling, but does not describe any drilling procedure. Contact Curt Manufacturing or consult your vehicle's service manual to confirm whether drilling is required for your specific application.
Locate the taillight connectors on the driver's side frame rail. Separate them carefully without damaging the locking tabs, insert the yellow wire T-connector end between them, then repeat on the passenger side with the green wire T-connector end. Route the 4-flat to the vehicle centre and secure with the provided cable ties.
