Second plug in rear bumper

[bnmyster]

Can someone tell me what this second opening for and how to close it "Factory like" (I bought this truck used) Its on 2019 Ram 2500 HD Diesel

Not sure if it will help but it's a 2019 Big Horn HD 2500 crew max 4X4 6.7L. I found this plug behind that opening

That hole is where the camera plug used to be, or the blank plate fell off, some of us have moved the plug
into the bed to ease our fifth wheel hook up for the wired camera connection. There is a blank plate.
that can be used to cover opening.

Thank you Leroy. Does the plate have a part number? I've looked up and down on the Mopar website and was unable to find the plate without a part number ( probably because I don't know how to look) If I can't get it, can another 7 pin plug can be inserted just to cover the opening?

Found this from an earlier thread, not sure if price is still correct

I ordered and received the plug. Part number: 68526870AA. I ordered from Mopar.com. It was 13.90 plus shipping and tax total $19.35.

Is it a replacement bumper? I didn’t think that camera was available in 2019.

 

[bnmyster]

I'm not sure, car fax shows 13 services on the truck, but no accidents, so if it is a replacement bumper it was replaced for cash. You are correct about the year I called the dealership about the camera, its only offered on 20-23

 

[bnmyster]

on second thought, maybe the year is stamped on the inside of it I'll look

2020 didn’t have the camera (or the digital mirror) either. That didn’t show up until 2021.

That’s what I was thinking.

…and 2021 didn’t have the tow mode camera option that required the port on the driver side of the license plate. That didn’t show up until 2022.

I have seen some 2021 factory equipped bumpers with the knockout blank cover, although the 2021 job site 2500 we have sitting at work right now doesn’t have it.

When I was kicking around the dealership lot in August of ‘22 I saw 3 different setups on ‘22’s (or what I presume were new ‘22 trucks, there were several of each setup). No plug or cover plate, cover plate, and plug.
