I bought a trailer wiring kit from Hopkins for my 98 rrodeo and it says there should be a connector in the jack storage compartment. I cannot find it. There is a harness going into the taillight assembly and another going to the power socket and that's it. Has anyone else had this problem

That is where mine is at....

Its there but its taped way up inside, between the metal body framing and plastic interior. Sometimes its easier to pull the plastic off to get to it.
