Video Transcript for Trailer Wiring Harness Installation - 2004 Ford F-150

All right. Today on this 2004 Ford F150 were going to install part number 118247. First thing we need to do is go ahead and unload our spare tire and get it out of our way. This way we have access to the wiring connection we need. Now, the wiring connection were looking for is going to be on the drivers side frame rail pointed out here, and well go ahead and disconnect it. Well push down on the tab and pull it apart.

Next, we need to remove the ground screw. Well go ahead and remove it. Now we can go ahead and start installing the new part. Now the wire harness is shaped like a T so well take both halves of the T and install them into the wire harness; one on each side. Well push them together until they click.

All right, now well take our white wire at the ring terminal and add that to the original wire with the ring terminal and bolt those two back together to the frame using the ground screw. Now we need to install a seven pole connector. Now, this kit does not come with any brackets to hold the seven pole in place. So, were going to add a couple of part numbers. Were going to use part number pk12711u to hold our seven pole bracket.

Were going to use part number 18136 to mount the whole assembly to the hitch. Well start off by putting the two brackets together. Now, were going to intentionally take one bracket and install it in reverse fashion that way we keep the seven pole connector as close to the hitch as possible. Well bolt these two together and then well take that assembly and well go ahead and clamp it to the hitch. Well take the band clamp, run it around the hitch and through the bracket and then tighten it down.

Well make sure its level first and then well tighten it down for good. Now well go ahead and take our wire harness and run it through the bracket. Well remove the little gray lock thats on top then install the seven pole connector. It also just snaps together. And, then well reinstall the lock. And, then our seven pole connector will get bolted to the seven pole bracket. All right. Were done with the back of the vehicle. Now we need to add a relay to the front. Well go to the passenger side front seat and there will be a kick panel down below that we have to remove to get access to the fuse panel. Well remove the door and then remove the lid to the panel. Then well go ahead and add our relay that comes with the kit. This will power our 12 volt power supply with our hot lead going out back at the seven pole connector. Now, you want to check your owners manual for proper location of this circuit, and then reinstall the covers. That will finish it for our install of part number 118247 on our 2004 Ford F150.

I used this bracket to upgrade from a 4pin harness with no mount to a 7 pin harness and mount for my 2012 frontier. Both Items were purchased from Etrailer. the harness is part#118267 and was a breeze to install, because the it uses factory weather connectors. The bracket did require drill and tap of the underside of the bumper. 20 minutes to install. get the 7pin to multi-plug-in adaptor also. so you can go from 5 and 4 pin plugs. etrailer did a good job of shipping right away.69562

Not the right size or hole position to mount to the frame of the Honda Pilot however it is necessary to use a bracket of this sort to attach the plug mount to. I flattened this one out with a hammer and used it like that. It worked just fine but again don't expect to mount it to the frame of the car. Good news is you don't need to56449

This bracket is designed to be used with aftermarket trailer connectors. OEM connectors that came on the vehicle may not fit. They may be OEM specific designs.

  • 7-Way Trailer Wiring Connector Mounting Bracket for a 2011 Nissan Frontier
  • I recommend using the Pollak 7-Way Mounting Bracket, # PK12711U, over the Draw-Tite 7-Way Mounting Bracket, # 18138, because the slotted holes allow for fit to many different manufacturers 7-Way trailer connectors. To make the installation easy and avoid drilling, I would recommend a no drill bracket. We have a short model, # 18140, and a long model, # 18136. The short model sticks out 3-3/4 inches and the long model sticks out 6-1/2 inches depending on the location you decide to mount the br

  • Mounting Bracket for a 7-Way Trailer Connector on a 1999 Ford F-150
  • What you can do is use a secondary bracket, like # 18136 for a long one, or # 18140 for a shorter one. These both attach to the cross tube of the trailer hitch. You would then attach the Pollak Mounting Bracket # PK12711U to the end. I have included a link to a video showing how the secondary bracket attaches to the hitch cross tube.

  • Special Drill Bit for Drilling Into the Bumper of a 1992 Chevy C/K Series Truck
  • For hard to drill metal surfaces I recommend a rotabroach bit. We have several of these, see link, but they will probably be too large for for a 7-way mounting bracket. You can also try to use self-tapping screws like # 1172904 instead of drilling. For adding new wiring and brakes, I have included a link to a video that should help. For a 1992 Chevy C/K series truck, I recommend the Tekonsha P2, # 90885. It is one of our most popular controllers because it is easy to set up and easy to use.
