It is a direct OEM replacement, easy installation. What I liked most was a real person answered my call and took my order, Katherine was very polite and knowledgeable. Thanks again. CJ

Worked out awesome. I bought this for a buddy for his used truck. The previous owners for what ever reason took it. Plugged it in and worked flawlessly.

product from Pollak is always great but they packed it with steel couplers and destroyed it

2004 Nissan Titan
The 3 star rating is because this is not a direct replacement for a Nissan Armada. I bought this to replace the original socket on a 2004 Nissan armada. The hitch on the car says it is a Nissan hitch. I did not notice that the original socket mounted as a twist lock type and the bracket had no mounting screws when I ordered this socket. In defense of the manufacture and distributor of this socket the description did not say it was a direct replacement for an armada the assumption would be that the hitch would be the same as a titan. This was no big deal for me since I had a drill and bits to drill mounting holes and used # 8 sheet metal screws. Just have to be careful to drill the holes the right size so they self thread properly. I have been looking to see if there is a direct replacement for the original socket but can't seem to find one not even on Nissan's parts web site so I guess you just have to do what I did. I didn't think to take a video of the installation but I have included a picture of the finished install.

I had to replace the socket in my truck after I forgot to disconnect the plug when setting up my camper 1 year ago. Since then, I've connected the camper 35 times and pulled it over 6,000 miles. I have had no issues at all with the new socket.

This is it!! If you have a Porsche Cayenne with a tow package (mine's a 2017) and you're wondering why the wiring "connector" that came from the factory is just a plate with nothing to plug in to... This is the thing you need! It fits the holes in the mounting bracket perfectly and plugs right into the harness coming out of the car (after you carefully release the little clip holding the clip connecting the plate to the harness (no, that's not a typo). I also purchased a matching 7 to 4-pin adapter, so I can easily connect to either. And etrailer had it all... and made it easy. Quick shipping, just as promised. Love e-Trailer! :)

After redoing my trailer wiring harness to put a socket in the bed of my 1995 F250, I used this to replace the old socket in my bumper. Saved me having to do more splicing and hard wiring in the old socket.

After a year of use, this is still working great. I don’t use it a lot as most of my towing is of the 5th wheel using the in-bed connector.

Hi, I am a ASE Certified Automotive technician for 30-plus years. I have to say these parts are Factory quality, the option for Direct Fit everything plugs right into the wiring harnesses fits as if they came as original equipment with the vehicle and the same quality. When ordering parts if you call and speak to an operator that extremely helpful and actually know what's going on. And their tech support this extremely knowledgeable.

2008 Porsche Cayenne
This is the original plug and play. For VW SUV's this does the trick. I recommend using some anti-seize on the bolts that secure this into the mount. I have this on both an Audi and a Porsche both work great. The picture shows what the car some with so you simply plug this unit into the factory socket and secure with 4 machine screws.
by: RT08/25/2020
Nice fit to my factory harness. This was a replacement for the factory hitch mount. I decided to drill a hole and mount in the bumper like I’ve seen on other vehicles. This makes for a convenient and protected location.

- Troubleshooting Newly Wired Trailer Lights With Right Side Not WorkingIt is likely there is a ground connection issue with that right side tail light. Often that ground connection is made through the mounting hardware so you want to make sure you have a clean bare metal connection. Use some sand paper to confirm the bare metal connection prior to reinstalling ground wire or mounting hardware. If that doesn't solve your lighting issue then use a circuit tester like # PTW2993 to test your wires an confirm the functions are getting to that tail light....

If your 2010 Porsche Cayenne came with a 7-way socket like this, then you can use this as a replacement. If you want to add a 7-way trailer connector on your vehicle that did not originally come with one, then you will first need to make sure that you have a 4-way flat connector.

The US Car Connector is really the only connector that is a universal fit for many different manufacturers. Sometimes their connection points will crossover, but this is a common connector that is found on pickup trucks so there are multiple different connectors that will work with it.

- Wiring A 3rd Brake Light On A Truck Cap On A 2002 Chevrolet S-10You have a couple of places you can look for the center high mount stop light (CHMSL) circuit on your 2002 Chevrolet S-10. First, if you have a trailer connector at the back of your S-10 you can check beneath the truck where the trailer wiring runs underneath. You can use a circuit tester like part # PTW2993 to determine if any of the wires in the loom are dedicated brake light wires. It would only show current when the brake pedal is pressed. If you have a wire bundle or trailer wiring...
view full answer... - Troubleshooting Faint Taillight Functions on a Horse TrailerA couple of things could be what's going on. First thing I would do is inspect both trailer connectors on your truck and trailer. Clean off the connection points as it sounds like you have some corrosion that is preventing the connection from being made. The next place to look is the grounds of the trailer. Each light assembly should be grounded to a clean metal surface. A lot of assemblies ground through the mounting hardware so make sure they are attached to a clean metal surface. Lastly,...
view full answer... - Factory 7-Way Replacement Recommendation for a 2014 Ford F Series Super Duty TruckThe truck manufacturers all decided to start using the same 7-way wiring harness connectors in the early 2000's, so the # PK11893 will fit all of them. I attached a picture that shows what the round connector looks like that the 7-way is designed to fit. As long as your 2014 Ford F Series Super Duty has/had a factory 7-way installed on it, or the connector is present, the part # PK11893 will be the correct part to use.

- Troubleshooting Brake Controller Not Working On 2002 Chevy SilveradoSounds like a blown CHMSL fuse on your truck. This is a very common problem for your generation GM truck that just stops the brake controller from working. This is actually the second time I have seen this exact problem today on your generation of truck. The CHMSL fuse controls the third brake light of the truck. I bet if you were to go out and look at the third brake light while a buddy hits the brakes it wouldn't come on.
view full answer... - Wiring a Truck Bed Camper Shell Brake Light on a 2007 Ford F-150To wire a brake light only on a truck bed topper/camper shell you will need a dedicated brake light only circuit. Tow package wiring would not work because the brake light circuit and turn signal circuits are together. So you would either need to find a wire under the truck that is dedicated brake light only or you would need to tap into the CHMSL (center high mount stop lamp) circuit. Check the owners manual to see if the CHMSL is fused by itself or if the fuse handles other functions...
view full answer... - 7-way Trailer Connector Color Codes For Wiring In a 4-Pole ConnectorThere's more than one accepted wire color code convention for a 7-way trailer connector. Many times, a 4-pin connector would wire in color for color, but not always. On some 7-ways, the red wire will be left turn/brake lamp instead of the yellow wire. The brown wire will be right turn/brake lamp instead of the green wire. The green wire will be the taillights and the white, blue and black will be the same. It's usually better to wire by function than by wire color, because wire colors...
view full answer... - Wiring Kit Recommendation for In-Bed 7-Way Connection on 2019 Ford F-150You could potentially use the Curt T-Connector # C55774 for a 7-Way connector in the bed of your 2019 Ford F-150 but this wiring kit comes with the 4-Way as well so for just the 7-Way socket you'll want the Pollak # PK11893 instead. If you're needing a new wiring kit that comes with the wiring and the 7-Way then the kit # C57008 will do the trick. Attached are some videos for you to check out.
view full answer... - Finding the Third Brake Light Wire on a 2013 GMC Sierra 2500HD for a Camper ShellThere may be a wire loom under the truck, above the spare tire with some tow package wires in it. 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 # PTW2993 to test the wires. If this wiring is not present, to add a third bake lamp you would need to tap into the turn...
view full answer... - Parts Needed to Install 7-Way Trailer Wiring on a 2012 Subaru Outback WagonIn order to add a 7-Way trailer connector to a 2012 Subaru Outback Wagon you will first need to install a 4-Way. If the vehicle already has a 4-Way you can skip to the next step. For a 4-Way you can use # 118467. I have included a link to a video showing a typical installation for you. The factory 4-Way, if you have one, or the 118467, will have a converter. This takes the separate turn signal and brake lights from the vehicle and combines them on the output side for the trailer.

Your best option would be to tap into your trailer wiring with the # 118158 and then run the red wire to the third brake light.
view full answer... - Replacement 7-Way Trailer Connector for a 2005 Toyota TacomaI have two replacement trailer connector options for a 2005 Toyota Tacoma. If you have the US Car Connector which can be removed from the back of the factory plug then you can just use the Pollak Replacement 7-Pole part # PK11893. If there isn't a pigtail that can be removed from the rear of the connector then you'll need to use the Pollak Black Plastic, 7-Pole part # PK12-707E which requires splicing.

If the factory connector is mounted to the hitch then you would need the 7-Way US Replacement Connector, item # PK11893, to replace the 7-Way. If your bracket is damaged then you could use the Replacement Multi-Tow 7-Way and 4-Way Trailer Connectors for Ford, GM Trucks with Factory 7 Way, item # 30955,...
view full answer... - Surge Coupler Equipped Trailer Brakes Occasionally Actuate When Backing TrailerWhen the brakes lock up, are you backing up a small hill or a rise? I'd be willing to bet you are. It sounds like your surge coupler isn't equipped with a reverse lockout. A reverse lockout will prevent the coupler from compressing and actuating the brakes when you back the trailer. There are a couple possible solutions for this. Depending on the surge coupler you have, it could be possible to install an electric lockout like part # T4748800 for Titan or Dico surge couplers or # DM11993...
view full answer... - Replacement 7-Way Trailer Connector Recommendation for a 2014 Audi Q7The Pollak 7-Way part # PK11893 that you referenced has been confirmed to fit your 2014 Audi Q7 so I would recommend it for you. It will connect right up to the harness that is on your vehicle. Check out the picture I attached to see the dimensions of the harness and the install bolt hole pattern. If you wanted harness that comes with a 4-way as well you would want the part # HM40975.

- Will the Pollack 7-Way Trailer End Connector Fit on a 2009 Honda RidgelineAs long as your 2009 Honda Ridgeline has a 7-Way vehicle end trailer socket that looks similar to part # PK11893, then the Pollak 7-Way Trailer End Connector, # PK12706, will connect to your vehicle. The connector that you referenced is the trailer side connector and should be connected to the wires on the trailer. I have attached a trailer wiring article for you to check out that will help when installing the 7-way trailer connector on your trailer. If you do not have a 7-way socket...

We don't have an adapter like that (due to the fact that the 7-way round pin connector is pretty rare these days), so the easiest thing to do would be to replace the existing 7-way round pin connector on your vehicle with a 7-way blade style connector like # PK11893 and a # PK11998 7-way pigtail. Or, if it's still needed, you could leave the existing 7-way round pin connector in place and tap the...

If the part you need is the socket that mounts on the RV what you would need is the part # PK11893 or if was the plug that goes to the socket you'd want the part # A7WCB.

view full answer... - Troubleshooting Right Side Trailer Lights Not WorkingIf just the right side trailer lights aren't working then the first thing I recommend doing is using a circuit tester like # PTW2979 on the tow vehicle side connector. Test the right side turn/brake circuit pin with that function activated on the vehicle to see if you get power. This will let you quickly determine which side the issue is on (vehicle or trailer) so you don't have to waste time troubleshooting an area that's good to go. If you do get power then you know the problem is on...
view full answer... - Testing Options for 7-Way of Trailer for FunctionWe have circuit testers that work on the trailer side of the wiring like the # 8010 but since they have to send power to the circuits and verify that the circuit is complete they are a bit more involved than the testers that fit into a 7-way like the # TR20117. Another solution is to run a jumper wire from the positive pin of a vehicle battery to each of the pins on your trailer 7-way and then watch to see if the circuit activates. I attached a 7-way diagram for you to check out as well.

- Troubleshooting 2002 F-250 Towing Horse Trailer with Working Exterior Lights but No Interior Lights It sounds like the interior lights on your trailer are powered through the 12 volt circuit on your Ford's 7-way. So, start by testing to make sure that pin is active. On a standard RV style 7-way, this is located at the 1 o'clock position. I've attached a diagram for visual reference. Using a tester like # PK12741 would be the easiest. You could also simply have a case of corrosion on/in the connectors that is preventing the +12V auxiliary power from reaching the trailer.
