Reverse Light PIn on a 7-Way Trailer Connector
Question:
I have a 2018 Ram2500 I wanted to use a removable auxiliary reverse light for plowing that I would mount on the trailer receiver. Is there a pole on the plug that would turn the light on when truck is in reverse.

Expert Reply:
The reverse light pin on a traditional 7-way trailer connector, like part # PK11893 or a factory connector if that's what you have on your 2018 Ram, is the center pin. Take a look at the picture I attached that shows all the pin functions.
To add a light that runs off your truck's reverse light circuit you can tap into the trailer wiring going into the center pin on the connector or directly into the reverse lights on the back of the truck. Either will work for you.
