• Help Finding 7-Way Socket for 2011 Ford Van
  Your van most likely has the 7-way connector/harness at the rear of it but you'd need to get up behind the rear bumper and look for a round connector that a socket like part # A10-7072VP could plug into. If that's not there you could contact a Ford dealer to see about getting that intermediate harness you would be missing. Then you can use factory brake controller harnesses like what you referenced with the part # 3034-P with a controller like the # TK63VR.

• Camper Electric Brakes Go Out When Pressing Brakes
  It's probably the wiring to the brakes having a short, but there are a number of things you should test to find out for sure. First test the brake controller, and to do so sever the blue wire a couple inches from the back of your controller. Then use circuit tester # PTW2979 to test the end of the blue wire coming out of the controller. It should only have power when you apply the manual override; if it shows power at idle then there is an issue with the controller and it will need to be...

• Factory Replacement 7-Way Plug For 2004 Chevy Tahoe
  The Hopkins Endurance Multi-Tow 7-Way RV and 4-Way Flat Trailer Connector part # HM40950 holes may line up with the bracket on your 2004 Chevy Tahoe if it's a Z71. According to Hopkins this connector only fits a 2004 Chevy Tahoe if it's a Z71.

• Hitch and Wiring For 2017 Chevy Express Van Cab and Chassis Cutaway

• Recommended Plug and Play 7-Way Trailer Connector and Brake Controller for 2015 GMC Sierra 1500
  GM actually uses the # HM40975 as the OEM trailer connector, so that's what I'd recommend you use. The connector will plug into the socket located above the spare tire. You'll need to free the connector from the frame member and uncoil it so it will reach the rear bumper. The truck is indeed pre-wired for a brake controller. To complete the installation, you'll need brake controller and the vehicle-specific wiring harness. I'd highly recommend the Tekonsh P3, part # 90195. The P3...

• Troubleshooting Stop Turn Circuit of 2014 GMC Yukon XL Trailer Wiring Not Functioning
  First thing I'd check is for a blown fuse under you hood. That's the most common issue that kills a trailer wiring circuit and is very easy to fix. Next possibility is corrosion on the pins of the trailer wiring. To fix that take some sandpaper to all of the pins on your 7-way. If the 7-way is looking pretty rough it might be best to replace it with a new one like the # A10-7072VP and you'd have an all new connector. Aside from that you'd have to trace wires to see where the issue might...

• Troubleshooting Trailer Running Lamps that Flicker When Parked
  All the # C35FR adapter does is add a little bit of a load to the lighting circuits to prevent the bulb-out light or warning from going off, it won't solve the issue you describe. What could be happening is that the trailer connector on the vehicle or on the trailer has some corrosion built up on the pins/sockets that power the 12-v circuit and the running lamp circuit which would make sense as the pins are adjacent in the trailer connector. At a certain point once the corrosion gets severe...

  For a tow vehicle that has a 7-way blade-style trailer connector like # A10-7072VP and a trailer that has a 6-way connector such as # PK11604, you could absolutely use an adapter like the # 47549 you'd looked at.

One way uses the center pin as the 12-v trailer accessory power feed, the other uses center pin as the brake output. The adapter has the center pin wired as the...

• Troubleshooting Brake Controller and Poor Braking on Trailer Towed by 2018 Toyota Tundra
  The three main things that could be causing your issue are: 1) Insufficient brake adjustment. The adjusters should be turned 'out' until you can't turn the wheel by hand when it's jacked up off the ground. Then the adjusters should be backed off by 10 or so clicks so there's still a slight drag from the brake shoes. 2) The brake shoes should be broken in correctly or 'burnished'. This is done by applying the brakes 20 to 30 times to decrease the speed by 20 mph. Example, once reaching...

• Replacement 7-Way Trailer Connector On 2012 Ford Escape
  The replacement 7-way connector I recommend for your 2012 Escape is part # A10-7072VP. This connector just plugs into the OEM plug at the rear of your Escape. This 7-way has the spring-loaded dust cover to help protect the connector from the elements. When working with electrical connectors I recommend using dielectric grease like part # 11755. This keeps dirt and moisture out of the electrical connections and helps prevent corrosion.

• What Would Cause 7-Way Trailer Connectors on Truck and Trailer to Melt When Connected
  Sounds like you had a massive short to ground on the 12 volt accessory circuit of the trailer wiring. This circuit is in the 1:00 position of the female connector on the truck. The ground circuit is in the position opposite of this in the 7:00 position. My guess is there was exposed wire on the trailer side between these two circuits and they touched which caused the problem. For a new 7-way kit for the trailer you'd want the part # HS381-9000 and then for a new 7-way for the truck you'd...
