It is a direct OEM replacement, easy installation. What I liked most was a real person answered my call and took my order, Katherine was very polite and knowledgeable. Thanks again. CJ

Worked out awesome. I bought this for a buddy for his used truck. The previous owners for what ever reason took it. Plugged it in and worked flawlessly.

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.
by: Allen 02/09/2024
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! :)

1995 Ford F-250 Super Duty
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.

2008 Porsche Cayenne
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.
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.

- Identifying Wires of 2006 Dodge Ram 2500 for Installing New 7-Way ConnectorYour easiest solution for wiring a new 7-way to your 2006 Dodge Ram 2500 that has the wire colors you mentioned is going to be to use a circuit tester like part # PTW2993 to test all the wire colors you have while applying various lighting functions like blinkers and running lights so that you can identify them and then use the attached diagram to match them up with the correct locations. I wish there was a way to look up the wire colors you have but that's not something we have access to.

- Parts Needed to Install Tow Bar Wiring on Vehicle Towed on Tow DollyYou'd need the tow bar diode wiring kit part # RM-152-1676-7 installed on your 2018 Honda Pilot Touring and then an additional 7-way socket wired into your motorhome wiring like with the # PK11998 and the socket # PK11893 and you'd be set. You'd need to use the harness to tap into the correct circuits of your 7-way wiring to do this.
view full answer... - Can 7-Way 12 Volt Accessory Circuit of 2013 Ford F-250 be Active all the TimeA lot of vehicles do have the 12 volt accessory circuit of the 7-way only active when the vehicle key is on. It's not hard to disable this feature but you'll have to run wire from directly from the vehicle battery to the trailer connector. For that you'd want to run a length of 10 gauge wire like part # 10-1-1 (sold by the foot) through a breaker like part # 9510 to the positive battery post.
view full answer... - Replacement 7-Way Trailer Socket Recommendation for a 1997 Hummer H1I recommend using the Pollack Replacement 7-Way Trailer Connector Socket, # PK11893, and the 4ft Pigtail Wiring Harness, # PK11998. The screw holes for the 7-way socket are 2-1/2 inches x 1-3/4 inches, which match your specification. I have attached a photo showing the screw hole dimensions as well as the overall dimensions for you. This socket does not come with the installation hardware.

- 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... - Where is Center Instrument Panel Fuse Block of 2005 GMC SierraThe center instrument panel fuse block of your 2005 GMC Sierra is a junction box located under the dash on the driver side just to the left of where your left foot would be. It's behind a black plastic cover. If you check out the very beginning of the install video link I attached you can see how it is accessed.
view full answer... - Troubleshooting 7-Way of 2010 Jeep Wrangler Not ActiveIf all of the pins stopped working that to me sounds more like a ground problem on the 7-way connector. Which that is typically caused by a dirty ground pin on the 7-way. Which you can fix that pretty easily by taking sandpaper to the pins. Or if the 7-way is looking like it's in bad shape you could replace it with the part # PK11893.

You can check the fuse/relay legend on the inside of the power distribution box lid to see what fuses or relays are needed, or find the information in your vehicle owners manual. The correct replacement 7-Way trailer connector for your truck is the Twist-in, 7-Pole, RV-Style Trailer Connector, # PK11916. I have included a link...

If you have the 2007 Chevrolet Pickup, Silverado Classic body style then the Pollak Replacement 7-Pole, RV-Style Trailer Connector Socket, item # PK11893, is the correct replacement for your vehicle.

- Why Would Trailer with Surge Brakes Work Allow Reversing for a While Then StopIf the trailer with surge brakes used to let you back up but now it's not that would indicate it has an electric reverse lockout solenoid that is currently not working. This could be a blown reverse light trailer wiring fuse, bad wiring, dirty trailer wiring connectors, bad wiring on the trailer to the solenoid, or a bad solenoid itself. Since a trailer shop looked at it that would indicate it's probably a blown fuse or bad wiring/corrosion that is at fault.
view full answer... - Problems With Light Functions On Trailer After Installing 7-Way ConnectorWhen you are installing a trailer connector like part # PK11893, you can run into issues due to the wires that the vehicle manufacturer used have different colors. This is why we always recommend using a circuit tester, like part # PTW2993, to test the wires on the vehicle side, and make sure the wires on the trailer side connector match by function and not by color. I have attached a helpful article that explains trailer wiring you can check out. In the article there is also a helpful...

- Troubleshooting Right Turn Lamp Circuit on Trailer Towed By 2004 Chevy SilveradoIf everything but the right turn signal on the trailer works, you'd start by using a circuit tester like part # PTW2993 on the trailer connector on the tow vehicle as each lighting function, right turn, left turn, running light and brakes are activated. This will help you determine if the problem is in the vehicle or the trailer wiring. The wiring help article will show you which pin on a trailer connector controls which function. If the pin for the right turn signal on the trailer connector...
view full answer... - Trailer Brakes Only Work when Interior Light Switch is On on Horse TrailerWith trailer wiring, you can't make any assumptions. The wires have to be tested to determine the functions. An easy way to do this would be to use a separate 12 volt battery and apply power to each wire on the trailer and then see what turns on. Then wire up the trailer connector accordingly. There may be breakaway system that is wired in with the 12 volt circuit from the trailer connector so when the switch is off it basically closes off that circuit. That would explain why the brake...

What sounds like is happening is a bad ground. I would check all your ground connections making sure they are not corroded or disconnected. A bad ground can cause all sorts of weird things to happen. It also doesn't hurt...
view full answer... - Parts Needed To Add a 7-Way Connector On a 2008 Ford F-150If your 2008 Ford F-150 came with the factory tow package you should have a connector that will connect directly to a Pollak Replacement 7-Pole, RV-Style Trailer Connector Socket # PK11893. If your F-150 did not come with a factory tow package the Plug-N-Tow (R) Vehicle Wiring Harness # 40185 will give you a 4-way flat connector and then you will need a kit like our Universal Installation Kit for Trailer Brake Controller # ETBC7 to get a 7-way.

view full answer... - Brake Controller and Install Harness Recommendation for 2017 Toyota TacomaThe brake controller I recommend for your 2017 Toyota Tacoma is the Prodigy P3 part # 90195 because this brake controller senses the amount of braking your tow vehicle is applying and puts a proportional amount of braking on the trailer's brakes. It also has a display that uses full words instead of codes that would have to be deciphered. It's our best selling brake controller because of how well it works, how reliable it is, and how easy it is to use. To install this controller in your...

You're not going to be able to use the signal from the 7 way connector, but we can help you find the wiring that you're needing in order to accomplish this. In order to do that, the best way is to tap into the Center High Mount Stop Light (CHMSL) circuit which should be present...
view full answer... - How to Activate 12-Volt Power Supply Circuit on 7-Way Trailer Connector on MotorhomeI'd be happy to help you with that. The first thing I'd recommend doing is checking the fuse box. It looks like your motorhome is built on a Ford Van cutaway chassis. In the 2019 Ford E450, for example the fuse for the trailer tow charge relay is in position # 4 in the fuse box, and the fuse is in the # 17 position. Depending on the model year of the cutaway chassis your motorhome is built upon the fuse location could be different. The fuse box lid should list what fuses and relays...

The wiring harness under under your truck that connected to the back of the broken socket simple unplugs from it and plugs into this new socket. If you need a mounting bracket you can use the Pollack # PK12711U.

The Pollak Replacement 7-Pole, RV-Style Trailer Connector Socket - Vehicle End # PK11893 is designed to work as an OEM replacement if you have a factory 7 way that has been damaged and requires replacement. You would need some self tapping screws like the # FA1131822 to attach this to your vehicle. The style of connector this socket is designed to fit is found on nearly all vehicles that have 7-ways. Thankfully all of the manufacturers decided to use the same plug design which makes...

It will connect right up to the harness that is on your vehicle. Check out the picture I attached to see the dimensions of the harness and the install bolt hole pattern. If you wanted harness that comes with a 4-way as well you would want the part # HM40975.

- Factory 7-Way Replacement Recommendation for a 2014 Ford F Series Super Duty TruckThe truck manufacturers all decided to start using the same 7-way wiring harness connectors in the early 2000's, so the # PK11893 will fit all of them. I attached a picture that shows what the round connector looks like that the 7-way is designed to fit. As long as your 2014 Ford F Series Super Duty has/had a factory 7-way installed on it, or the connector is present, the part # PK11893 will be the correct part to use.
