BackUp Camera cable broken

[TxDanTMan]

I broke off the connector from my coax cable connecting the backup camera to the display screen in my 2019 Ram Longhorn. I took it to my Ram dealer and was told I had to replace the entire harness that runs from the display screen to the harness in the tailgate - at a cost of $1,200 (not including labor)! Apparently the coax cable is not sold separately. Any suggestions for an alternate solution? I'd like to think that I not the only Ram owner that has broken off the coax connector. Thanks for any help you can provide.

Maybe run your own coax cable?

Start by googling "coax repair". There are how-to videos and repair kits.

You might search for how to videos on YT.
It is a Fakra 3FA1-NLSJ-C01W0 as far as I can tell.

Scroll down on the mouser page, there are assembly instructions for it.

I seam to have the same problem on my 2019 2500 diesel big horn. I found that I can for sure disconnect the tail gate wiring harness where it enters the truck and don't need to replace the entire body harness thank god. Only problem is that I can't find a harness that seams to fit my truck... The 1500 2019-2021 looks the exact same on both ends but claims it doesnt fit. I may buy it anyway and try it. If it does not work I will return it. The part number is 68488448AA. Did this issue ever get resolved for you OP. If so what part did you need? Also was yours a 1500 or 2500?

How'd it go? 68645406AA is the part number for 2500 I haven't been able to compare them side by side but do have a 68488448AA near me in can get for cheap so I'm wondering if it'll work.
