Video Transcript for Fifth Wheel and Gooseneck Wiring Harness Installation - 2006 Ford F-350
Today on this 2006 Ford F350, well be installing the Pollack T-One connector part number pk11893-11932. We will start off at the bumper of the vehicle where you will find the previously installed 7 pole with a gray locking tab on it. We will undo the lock and pull the 7 pole free, but first we will need to loosen this bracket here for more working room. With everything separated we will start installing the T- One harness and lock it into position. Now that we have made our connections underneath we need to go ahead and drill a hole so that we can mount our connector in the bed. It is recommended that you have a minimum five inch clearance behind where ever you are going to drill.
Now we will take the other end of our new wiring harness, feed it up behind the fender and out the hole we just drilled. With our wiring through the hole we can now put it in our new connector. Following the numbers and colors listed in the instructions, you want to match it up to the numbers that are on the back of your connector. Make sure you press them in firmly so they lock in place, give it a little tug to make sure. You want to make sure you do the center pin before you complete all the others first.
With all of our wires in place we can go ahead and install our locking tab. Now with all of our wires installed and our locking tab in place we can go ahead and put our connectors together and push in on our gray locking tab to secure it. With all of our wires connected we can go ahead and secure our new 7 pole connection, I am going to use self tapping screws. That completes the installation of our new Pollak 7 pole connector. .

Fits as described and easy install for pre-wired Tahoe. For those not familiar with machine screw sizes, a suggestion to size and length of screw could be helpful.

Great Product! Easy to plug direct to G.M. OEM harness. The only problem I have is the 4 attach hole pattern does not fit the predrilled tow bumper on my G.M. flatbed built by ABC. But a little rework will fix the problem.14942

One thing you might want to check is if your factory connector and your trailer wiring is still grounded well. Follow the ground wire from the plug and back and make sure that it is still firmly grounded, and that no pinched or exposed points are touching metal. You will want to check the ground on the trailer connector itself, as well as on any lights or electric trailer brake magnets.

To wire the 7-way connector you have already purchased, you will need the Pigtail Wiring Harness for Pollak Replacement 7-Pole RV Socket, part # PK11998. This harness would plug into the rear of the trailer connector, and the bare leads on the other end would connect to the existing vehicle wiring, using the color code mentioned in the product description. If you do not already have one, I would recommend using a circuit tester, like part # 40376 to locate the correct circuits for installing the view full answer...

If you will take a look at the wiring harness up above the spare tire, you should find the connector that the 7-way plugs into. If you trace the loom back just a bit, you will find a light blue wire that is used for the 3rd brake light for your truck cap. If you will follow the provided link, see Step 3 figure B. This photo will show you the location of this wiring harness above the spare tire.
For the interior dome light, there are two common methods both of which will require a switch. You view full answer...
You are going to want to find the Center High Mount Stop Light wire for the brake light on the truck cap on your 2011 Chevy Silverado. The wire should be with the other tow package wiring located under the dash, held together with white tape or a tag that lists the wiring functions.
You could also tap into the brake circuit at the tail light. Make sure you use a circuit tester like the Quickee # 3808 to locate the wire that only carries a brake signal. There should not be any other signal on view full answer...
Most trailer wiring problems are the result of a bad ground. What I would do is start with the connectors. Maker sure the connectors on both the trailer side and vehicle side are free of dirt and corrosion and that they are properly grounded.
Next, I would move on to testing the vehicle side connector using a circuit tester like # 3808. Since the right side is not working, you will want to test the pins of the connector for right turn and brake. If looking at the face of the connector, it is view full answer...
The 2010 Chevy Silverado could have fuses or relays that will need to be added in order to make the 7-Way trailer connector at the rear of the vehicle functional. 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 to an view full answer...
There is a power distribution box under the hood of the 2007 GMC Sierra that has two power posts that can be used for power to a brake controller and 12 volt power to the 7-Way RV connector at the rear of the vehicle.
If your truck is equipped with a factory 7-Way and the 12 volt power circuit is not functioning you will need to check the 40 amp fuse nearest the forward most power post in the power distribution box. See photo at right.
If you do not have a factory 7-Way on your vehicle or view full answer...
To wire a 7-Way trailer connector at the rear of your 1994 Chevy pickup, you will need to start with a working 4-way connector, item # 118315, if your truck is not already equipped with one.
You would then use the 4 Pole to 7 Pole and 4 Pole Adapter, item # 37185, and plug in the 4-Way on the truck to provide the stop turn and tail light functions in the adapter.
If you do not need the brake control feed wire, 12 volt power wire or backup wire for your trailer you can tie one or all of the view full answer...
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 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 runni view full answer...
In the under hood accessory fuse block there are two power posts on the engine side of the block. The post closest to the front of the truck should have a wire connected to it that runs back to the factory trailer connector and provides 12 volt power at the 1:00 position as you have stated.
If there is not a wire present at this location, you may need to run a 10 gauge wire and splice it into the black wire at the back of the vehicle to provide power. If the wire is there, you should check th view full answer...
First I would need to know how your 7-Way connector is different than newer models. Is if pinned out differently (the pin functions are in different locations between the years) or is it that it connects to the vehicle differently?
If it is the latter, you can use the Pigtail Wiring Harness, # PK11998, with Hopkins Wiring, # HM4097 or # PK11893 You would just need to wire in the bare wire ends of the pigtail to the truck wiring by function. The pigtail uses the following color codes and func view full answer...
Are you certain that you have the 6-way connector, like part # PK12720 with the 6 round pins? Or do you have the 7-way connector like part # PK11893 that features 6 blade-type pins with one connector in the center? The two can sometimes be confused.
There are two possible reasons why the brakes are locking up on the trailer. If you have a surge or hydraulic coupler on the trailer, such as those typically found on boat trailers, the hydraulic brakes will lock up when the vehicle reverses unles view full answer...
It sounds like you have a 7-Way and are using a 7 to 4-Way adapter because the trailer has a 4-Way flat. If the running lights are not working with this set up, the first thing you will want to do is use a circuit tester, like # 3808 if needed, and test the vehicle side connector with no adapter installed in it.
If the running light circuit is not working at the connector you know there is a problem on the vehicle side and you will need to trace the wiring from the trailer connector to deter view full answer...
The 2006 Chevy Silverado will have the same wiring situation as a 2005. Locate the wire loom under the truck and above the spare tire. Like the question and answer you have referenced states, if you cut back the loom often times there will be 2 additional wires. The Light Blue wire provides a lead for a camper shell brake light. The other, a Light Green wire, is for the reverse lights.
To make sure you have found the correct wires, use a circuit tester like # 3808 to test the wires. view full answer...
If your 2004 Chevrolet Silverado has the factory tow package wiring that utilizes the # PK11893 style trailer connector, the first thing I would check is the tow package fuses in the power distribution box under the hood. You should find a legend under the lid of the box that details where the fuses are. Check to see if the fuse for the 7-Way 12 volt power is not installed in the correct location or is blown. Replace or insert a fuse as needed using the proper amperage fuse listed on the lid.

The purple wire you are referring to is the reverse light circuit, this circuit is usually used as a reverse lockout circuit for trailers with surge brakes so they can be reversed without activating the brakes of the trailer. Or sometimes it is used for reverse lights on a trailer.
If your trailer does not have surge brakes or reverse lights there will be nowhere for this circuit to be connected to since there is not a function it can go to.
If you do have surge brakes you will want to fin view full answer...
