2004 Nissan Titan
The 3 star rating is because this is not a direct replacement for a Nissan Armada. I bought this to replace the original socket on a 2004 Nissan armada. The hitch on the car says it is a Nissan hitch. I did not notice that the original socket mounted as a twist lock type and the bracket had no mounting screws when I ordered this socket. In defense of the manufacture and distributor of this socket the description did not say it was a direct replacement for an armada the assumption would be that the hitch would be the same as a titan. This was no big deal for me since I had a drill and bits to drill mounting holes and used # 8 sheet metal screws. Just have to be careful to drill the holes the right size so they self thread properly. I have been looking to see if there is a direct replacement for the original socket but can't seem to find one not even on Nissan's parts web site so I guess you just have to do what I did. I didn't think to take a video of the installation but I have included a picture of the finished install.

I had to replace the socket in my truck after I forgot to disconnect the plug when setting up my camper 1 year ago. Since then, I've connected the camper 35 times and pulled it over 6,000 miles. I have had no issues at all with the new socket.

It fit right up to my 2016 Porsche Cayenne diesel. A very simple installation.

It fit perfect and was literally plug and play.
by: Alan11/30/2021
This is it!! If you have a Porsche Cayenne with a tow package (mine's a 2017) and you're wondering why the wiring "connector" that came from the factory is just a plate with nothing to plug in to... This is the thing you need! It fits the holes in the mounting bracket perfectly and plugs right into the harness coming out of the car (after you carefully release the little clip holding the clip connecting the plate to the harness (no, that's not a typo). I also purchased a matching 7 to 4-pin adapter, so I can easily connect to either. And etrailer had it all... and made it easy. Quick shipping, just as promised. Love e-Trailer! :)

After redoing my trailer wiring harness to put a socket in the bed of my 1995 F250, I used this to replace the old socket in my bumper. Saved me having to do more splicing and hard wiring in the old socket.

After a year of use, this is still working great. I don’t use it a lot as most of my towing is of the 5th wheel using the in-bed connector.

Hi, I am a ASE Certified Automotive technician for 30-plus years. I have to say these parts are Factory quality, the option for Direct Fit everything plugs right into the wiring harnesses fits as if they came as original equipment with the vehicle and the same quality. When ordering parts if you call and speak to an operator that extremely helpful and actually know what's going on. And their tech support this extremely knowledgeable.
by: RT08/25/2020
Nice fit to my factory harness. This was a replacement for the factory hitch mount. I decided to drill a hole and mount in the bumper like I’ve seen on other vehicles. This makes for a convenient and protected location.

This is the original plug and play. For VW SUV's this does the trick. I recommend using some anti-seize on the bolts that secure this into the mount. I have this on both an Audi and a Porsche both work great. The picture shows what the car some with so you simply plug this unit into the factory socket and secure with 4 machine screws.

- Replacement 7-Way Socket for 5th Wheel Truck Bed Wiring Set-UpIt sounds like you have a 5th wheel wiring harness such as Pollak # PK11893-11932 which consists of a 7-way socket along with a harness with U.S. Car Connectors on it. For a replacement 7-way with the mounting flange you can use part # PK11893. For the harness portion only we offer part # PK11932.

- Finding Third Brake Light Circuit for Camper Shell on 2009 Chevy SilveradoTypically near the 7-way wiring on Chevy trucks there is a dedicated third brake light circuit that is to be used for wiring up the third brake light of a camper shell. The main trailer wiring harness is located under the truck bed, usually above the spare tire. There is usually a socket for your trailer connector to plug into, but if you peel back the wire loom you will find a light blue wire further up in the wiring harness that is intended for use for a third brake lamp on a camper...

- Turn Signals but No Brake Lights on Trailer tail LightsAny time a trailer has turn signals that work but not the brake lights it can be an interesting situation. This is because the brake lights and turn signals on trailer tail lights are on the same circuit. In this situation it is almost always a bad ground connection. Ground problems normally show up when there is more draw on a system such as when you have the running lights on and then use another function like a turn signal or brake light. Make sure that the vehicle side and trailer...
view full answer... - Finding Power Wire for Third Brake Light in 2011 GMC Sierra 1500There is a dedicated brake light only wire located up under the dash and to the left of the steering column. It is with a wire bundle held together with a white tag. There should be an orange wire that is the center high mount stop lamp wire (CHMSL) that you could use. You would need to attach wire to the end of it, route it through the firewall, under the truck, and over to where it needs to go. It is also possible that the truck has a wire under the bed somewhere for this purpose....

There is usually a socket for your trailer connector to plug into, but if you peel back the wire loom you will find a light blue wire further up in the wiring harness that is intended for use for a third brake lamp on a camper shell. The dome lamp should be wired into a 12 volt power source and should have a toggle switch installed on the circuit. Probably the easiest method would be to use the...

- Recommendation for Replacement 7-Way Connector on Subaru Forester If you are needing just a replacement 7-Way connector socket to hardwire into your Subaru Forester, the Pollak Replacement 7-Pole # PK11893 referenced in your question will be a great option. This will work to provide a new 7-Way to connect with the Bargman unit on your trailer. There will not be any fit issues between the two. I am unsure why your old Curt connector had a hard time matching up with the 7-Way on your trailer. It's possible that one or both of the connectors had some built-up...
view full answer... - Finding the Brake Output Wire Under a 2009 Ford F-150 to Install a Brake ControllerIf the blue wire is hot on your 2008 Ford F-150 (I am assuming under the truck, forward of the factory trailer connector) then that sounds like the 12 volt power wire. Which is strange since it is normally the orange wire like in the help article I have linked. If they are switched then that would mean the orange wire in this case is either the brake output wire from a brake controller or it serves some other unknown function. One way to determine which wire is the correct wire for brake...

Ground problems normally show up when there is more draw on a system such as when you have the running lights on and then use another function like a turn signal or brake light. Make sure that the vehicle side and trailer side connectors are clean and free of corrosion inside and out. The main connector grounds should be attached to clean and corrosion free bare metal surfaces. The light grounds should also be attached to clean and corrosion free bare...

All of the circuits of the 7-way match what you see in the diagram I attached that you also referenced.

- Troubleshooting Trailer Brakes that Lock Up After Rewiring TrailerIt sounds like the 12 volt circuit of the 7-way wiring is shorting out to the brake output circuit which is causing the brakes to lock up when the trailer is connected to the tow vehicle. This is most likely due to exposed wiring from when you rewired the trailer. I would go over all the connections you made looking for exposed wire and fix as necessary. I attached an FAQ article on trailer wiring for you to check out as well.
view full answer... - Troubleshooting 7-way Connector On 2004 Chevrolet Silverado Where All Pins Have Constant PowerThat is a pretty odd issue. Since the fuses look good, and you do not see any obvious issues with the wiring I would check that there is no corrosion causing power to jump from the 12v power pin to the other pins, as this would be the most likely cause. If you see corrosion on the connector it is likely also inside of the connector and would need to be replaced. The # PK11893 you were looking at would be the correct replacement for your 2004 Chevrolet Silverado. If there is not corrosion...
view full answer... - Replacement 7-Way Recommendation for Intertek on Monaco MotorhomeThanks for the picture of the 7-way you have on your Motorhome. While we don't carry the Intertek brand the Pollak 7-way part # PK11893 that you referenced is a direct replacement since thankfully the RV industry uses the same design. So this will plug right into the round connector your current 7-way has and work well.
view full answer... - How to Wire Up the Third Brake Light of a Truck Canopy on a 2009 Chevy Silverado 1500For wiring the third brake light of your canopy you will want to locate the orange wire in the bundle of wires near your brake pedal that should be labeled CHMSL. For powering the dome light you will want to use a 12 volt power source, you could use the red/black wire in the bundle you found previously as this circuit is a 12 volt power source. Check out the FAQ article I attached that shows where this bundle is.
view full answer... - How Much Power Should be at Vehicle Side 7-Way Power PinNormally we see a 30 amp fuse at the 12V power pin on your vehicle-side 7-Way like the part # PK11893. You'll want to verify with your tow vehicle what that fuse rating is and then you can check the amps at the 7-Way when a load is applied to see what you're getting. If there is a significant drop then you might have a short somewhere in the wiring. The 12V power pin is in the 1 o'clock position when you're looking at the connector face-on. I've attached a photo for you to reference.

- Which Pin of Trailer 7-Way is Running Light CircuitOn a 7-way connector the running light circuit is the pin in the 10:00 position as you face the connector opening on your truck. I attached a picture that has a full 7-way diagram for you to check out as well. Most likely it's a dirty or corroded pin but it could also be a blown fuse too so you might check that as well.
