Wiring harness. Need Urgent Help.
We have a 2017 Columbus 5th wheel and are on the road near Fishkills, NY. Wile making a sharp turn the wilres from the junction box on the fifth wheel were pulled out so that the wiring harness is now separated from the junction box. I need to reconnect the wires to continue on but they are not coloured coded. Can someone please check their harness at the junction box and let me know what colours from the harness connect with what colour wires on the junction box. Thank you if you can help.

Thank you. I took your advise and called Columbus and they were quick to assist. I was able to reconnect all the wires and was on the road in short order. We have completed our trip as a result of your good advise and the help from Shawn McKeage at Columbus.
Thank again.

Just to fill in a few important points that show how reaching out to help as youroo did can do more than he may realize. I am now retired after 37 years of police service and this year we decided to be snowbirds in Florida accompanied by our two dogs to just sit back and finally enjoy life. The night this occurred we were pulling into a WalMart in New York for a few hours sleep. Anyway when we woke in the morning we found that our 7 year old Golden Retreiver, Jake, had died during the night. I called several dealers and they were all too far away from our location and advised that I would have to drive to their shops as all fifth wheels were different and they could not give me any advise. At this point driving on the interstate to a dealer at least 25 miles away with no lights or brakes was something I did not want to chance. Anyway, I reached out on this forum and youroo was quick to respond. I contacted Columbus and the staff was very quick to assist. I was able to repair the wiring issue and then drove nonstop to our destination where we had arranged a crematorium for Jake. Needless to say due to the loss of our canine friend, our stress meters were on high and this advise put me on track to deal with the task so that we could move forward. So, as you can see sometimes a small jester may have a huge impact on others. Thank you again.

Sorry for the loss of your dog. I hope that our 14 year old will pass in her sleep when the time is right as we cannot bear the thought of having to take her to the vet one day.

I'm so sorry for your loss.
We also lost our Golden while traveling during Christmas.
So we know what you're going through.

We have the same hope for our Katrina pooch named Sadie. She is a rescue Lasha who's life got off to a rough start when someone tied her to a post and abandoned her in downtown New Orleans during the hurricane. We have given her years of love, which she has returned many times over, and we hope for an easy passing where her congestive heart failure overcomes her.

Sorry for your loss. It's hard when you loose them as you did, but it's especially hard when you have to make the decision to put them down.
Glad you were able to get your problem fixed quickly.

Thank you all for your kind words. We are at our winter destination and my wife is lost without her boy Jake. As well as our other dog has been so sad since the lose of his brother. But time heals all and we are thankful for all the good in our lives. Happy Thanksgiving to all. Enjoy your families and pet friends.

Ditto. Very rewarding to know that someone helped and what that solution turned out to be.
So often we all read the problem. We read all the suggestions and it is like someone stole the final chapter of a mystery novel if we never hear how it came out.
Thanks

Sorry to hear of your loss. Our boy Buster passed in September after we returned from Chattanooga. He would not give up while camping. We had him 17 years and 7 months so we know how hard it is.
