Today we're going to be taking a look at the Ford Replacement OEM Tow Package Wiring Harness with a seven way connector. This product fits numerous vehicles, so to make sure it works with your particular year and model, you can use the vehicle fit guide located on our website at etrailer.com. This is an exact replacement for your damaged OEM wiring harness. It's going to install quickly and easily, and it upgrades vehicles from a four flat OEM wiring to a seven way connector. The existing four way flat harness on your vehicle will still be functional. The unit's designed to connect directly to the standard OEM connector, you can see right here everything that it comes with. Your going to get the actual harness, your going to get your new seven way connector, plugs into this port right here on the harness.
Your going to get a hardware kit that's going to include two zip ties, detailed instructions, and your going to get the necessary fuses and relays. The connector right here, to make sure this is easily accessible at the back of your vehicle, we recommend using a mounting bracket. This is going to fit mounting bracket PK-12711U. That item is sold separate if your wanting to add a bracket to the vehicle for your seven way connector. You can find it here at etrailer.com. Now when it comes to installing the unit, you'll need to disconnect the vehicles negative battery cable, install the included fuses and relays according to the detailed instructions, locate the vehicles wiring plug that's going to be located in the rear underneath the vehicle, inside the driver's side frame rail.
Separate the plugs on the vehicle, and then install the trailer tow harness between mating plugs. These connectors are going to match up perfectly, they're going to snap lock together for a nice tight secure fit. Once you have those connected, make your ground connection, that's going to be you white wire with the inaudible 00:01:37 attached to it. That's going to get connected by using the existing ground stud on your frame rail, and then plug the seven way socket into the harness on this side. Push it in until it snaps together. It's got the locking tabs on it as well for a secure fit.
Once you have that done, you can reconnect the battery cables, test your installation, you can secure all your loose wires with the included zip ties or cable ties. Then you can mount the tow harness in an accessible location using the mounting bracket like I mentioned earlier. Please keep in mind, the unit can only be used with a factory four pole harness. This will not work with the factory seven pole harness. The instructions are detailed, they include some images in there to help with the installation process. A couple more things that I want to mention before we wrap up the video, here on the seven way connector, you can see it has a nice spring loaded lid, has a little tab right there so you can easily get that open, and get everything connected as you need to.
Really nice design. I just want you to know that your wiring is going to be protected. It's got the nice wire loom that goes around there to protect the wires. Again, when installing this, I do recommend going ahead and using the zip ties, to secure the wires up and out of the way, and keeping them safe. Especially during travel, and when a lot of grim builds up under the vehicle, having them tucked up and out of the way. Maybe even along the existing wiring harness is really going to help extend the life of this wiring harness, and just the wires. That wiring loom is going to help as well. That's going to do it for today's look at the Ford Replacement OEM Tow Package Wiring Harness with a seven way connector.
