Theres a bolt here securing the bracket, we will remove first and then we will cut the zip tie and remove the wire connector, pressing on the locking tab and remove it from the manufactures wiring. Now we are ready to go ahead and install the new bracket hardware. Before we begin installing the wiring harness, we will need to install the bracket, one to attach to the hitch, and another to attach to the seven pole. The seven pole mounting bracket by Pollak, part number PK12711U will attach to the Draw-Tite no drill mounting bracket, part number 18136.

Today on this 2000 Ford F-250 Super Duty we are going to install part number 20031 from Tow Ready, this is their 7-way adapter upgrade harness. What this will do is upgrade this 4-pole harness that is on the back of the vehicle right now and run it up to the bed since this truck is going to be a dedicated gooseneck truck. We are going to peel back the bed liner to see where we can drill through the bed. It is a good idea to drill through one of these parts here that is raised so it has maximum room for the connector once it is installed in the bed. This one is a little close to the tie down assembly and this one has got a tint in it so we will go with the third one over and use that to drill into. 00:38

This part is the 7-pole itself, it gets installed on the side of the bed. We are going to start off by making our hole in the side of the bed. :24

  • Stop and Turn Signals Do Not Work on Trailer With Power at the Vehicle Side Connector

If you see corrosion, it could have made its way inside of the connector. If this is the case, take the connector

  • Will a Trailer Drain the Battery on a 2009 Ford F-350 if the Trailer Stays Plugged In

  • Will Fifth-Wheel Wiring Harness # 20110 Work on a Heavy Duty 1997 Ford F-250
  • Fifth-wheel wiring extension # 20110 is only a fit for the Light Duty F-250 models in the 1997 year, so it would not work if your truck is a Heavy Duty model. The correct fit for the Heavy Duty 1997 F-250 models would be part # 20023. Dielectric grease, part # 11755, would be a good addition as well, to lubricate the connection points and protect them from moisture. I have included a link below to an installation video on a similar full-size truck.

  • What do I Need to Operate the Trailer Brakes Behind a 2000 Ford F250 With Factory 7-Way
