Features to know about

Reliable Trailer Connection: Standard RV-Style 7-Blade Socket

When you need a solid link between your vehicle and trailer, this Pollak 7-pole socket keeps things simple and dependable. It’s an RV-style connector that follows the standard 7-blade pin layout used across the industry, so it works with most trailers right out of the box. Whether you’re running electric brakes, reverse lights, or a 12-volt charge line, each circuit lines up exactly where it should for a clean, consistent signal every time you plug in.

Pollak 7-pole RV-style trailer connector socket with spring-loaded cover shown front-facing at vehicle-end.

Easy Plug-In Replacement: Fits the Factory Round Connector

Swapping out a worn or broken socket doesn’t have to mean rewiring. This connector plugs directly into the existing round harness on the vehicle side—no splicing required. It’s built as a direct plug-in replacement for standard USCAR-style wiring, so if your old socket’s lid is broken or corroded, you can just unplug it and snap this one in.

Durable and Weather-Resistant: Keeps Corrosion Out

Towing puts connectors right in the line of road debris, rain, and dust. The Pollak 7-way socket comes with a spring-loaded cover that seals tight when not in use to keep contacts clean and dry. The heavy-duty plastic housing resists cracking and corrosion, helping ensure the pins stay protected so your trailer lights and brakes get reliable power whenever you hit the road.

Straightforward Wiring Reference: Standard Pin Layout

Every pin on this 7-blade connector follows the standard configuration—left turn/brake at 9 o’clock, right turn/brake at 3 o’clock, running lights at 11 o’clock, brake output at the 5 o’clock pin, ground at 7 o’clock, auxiliary power at 1 o’clock, and reverse in the center. That makes testing or wiring repairs simple using any basic circuit tester. Once connected, you’ll have all seven functions ready for towing.

This 7-pole, sealed, RV-style trailer connector plugs into the factory socket on your truck or SUV. Connector is an exact OE replacement on Chevy, Ford, GMC and Nissan.

by:

Part was an exact fit and with fast delivery! Pricing was also spot on. Thanks!



by:

Product has worked fine for a year. It was cumbersome to install without a clear video on exactly how the factory plug on the vehicle socket was released in order to plug in this connector socket. But once I sussed that out, I had no problems installing this.



by:

For some reason, my Chattanooga built Volkswagen Atlas has an oddball (to us Americans) factory connector. This adaptor fits perfectly and looks like what VW should have installed in the beginning.



by:

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.



by:

Great business to work with. Done many years with them and will continue.
Thanks

The parts I purchased were those recommended on the blog, and they fit my 2021 ID.4.

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! :)



by:

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.

Madison did a great job helping me when the part i originally ordered was not available. She got another part on the way asap. I always enjoy working with etrailer and their representatives!

It took too long for us to wait. Had a customer ready to pick up vehicle. Product looks great and customer service was excellent. We will definitely order again.



by:

Pollack products are great, I've had them for years, attached right on the B&W hitch with the bracket they supplied with the hitch, fast shipping, Thanks



by:

Installed and tested and seems to work perfectly. To be perfectly honest, my vehicle was NOT on the list of those that this part will fit. But I saw on another post elsewhere that someone had had success with this and I thought it was worth the gamble. I just installed this myself in about 20 minutes, thanks to a YouTube video. The dealer is quoting 70 bucks for this part plus installation which I heard can be as much as $200 more. I just did it myself in 20 minutes for $18. Thank you so much. Check out my pics.

  • Correct Pin Out for Truck and Trailer 7-Way Blade Connectors
    Attached are some photos of the typical wiring functions for truck and trailer 7-Way blade connectors, like parts # PK11893 and # PK12706. If you typical pull a trailer that has a 7-Way connector then you want to follow the pin out diagrams I mentioned. If the chippers that you tow have a different configuration then the Hopkins Adapter # HM47535 will likely do the trick because you can change it so that the center pin is either related to the electric brakes or the 12V power.

  • Will The Pollak 7-Pole Connector PK11893 Work On 2000 Ford Expedition?
    Hello Scott, thanks for reaching out. The Pollak Replacement 7-Pole, RV-Style Trailer Connector Socket # PK11893 connects to a standard USCAR connector. So it can absolutely be used on a 2000 Ford Expedition, so long as the vehicle is pre-wired with a USCAR connector. If your Expedition came with a factory 7-way plug, it will already have the USCAR connector behind the bumper, so the # PK11893 can easily be plugged in. Does your Expedition have any kind of factory trailer connector? Reply...

  • Interior Trailer Lights are Not Working but All Exterior Lights Do Work
    You will need to determine what circuit the lights on your trailer are connected to. If the lights are hooked up to either the 12-volt circuit on the 7-Way or the auxiliary power circuit, then it could just be a matter of making that function active on the vehicle side. If the lights go first to a trailer mounted battery, make sure the battery has a charge and that the power wire and grounds are intact. They can also be tied into the running light circuit so you would check it as well. To...

  • Left Turn Signal On 7-Way Trailer Connector is Not Working
    It is possible that there is a blown fuse or relay related to the tow package wiring that is causing the problem. Use the vehicle owner's manual to find the locations. It is also possible that there is a break in the wire somewhere. You will need to use a circuit tester like # PTW2993 if needed to test the wire as you work your way forward on the truck. If the right side stop light also does not work, it could be a blown stop light or CHMSL fuse. If the turn signal function works on...

    There is a bundle of wires under the brake pedal of your 2012 Chevy Silverado that will have an orange wire that should be used to power the third brake light of the camper shell. I have also read that the light blue wire under the rear of your vehicle in the harness near the trailer connector will also work, but I would recommend you use a circuit tester like our # PTW2993 to make sure that this wire only sees voltage when the brakes are applied and none when the blinkers are on without...

  • Trailer Running Lights Not Working When Using a 7-Way to 4-Way Adapter
    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 # PTW2993 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...

  • Does Custer 7-Way Round to 7-Way Blade Adapter Have Signal Converter in It
    Hey Shawn, this is a great question but no the Custer 7-way round to 7-way blade adapter does not have a converter in it so that the separate signal circuits are combined. Basically this adapter is designed to just convert the styles of 7-way but not actually go from the semi truck style to RV style of wiring. To convert the signals you would need an converter like the part # RM-732 which you could splice into this adapter if you wanted. Sometimes in situations like this you can wire...

    Hey Don. I have a solution for you, but that part is not available anywhere as far as I can tell. The only custom fit part our vendors offer as replacement is the Curt T-Connector Vehicle Wiring Harness with 4-Pole Flat Trailer Connector # C55316 which is a 4 way flat that connects to your factory connectors. Technically you could do that, then install the # ETBC7 which converts it to a 7 way round like you're wanting. That would be a lot of work if just the 7 way connector is damaged,...

  • Wiring a Camper Shell Third Brake Light on a 2011 Chevy Silverado
    Like you said, most trailers in the US have what is called a 2-wire or combined system with the turn signals and brake lights on the same circuit. You would not tap into the tow package wiring if you need just a brake light signal. There is a dedicated brake light only wire located up under the dash and to the left of the steering column. It is with a wire bundle held together with a white tag. There should be an orange wire that is the center high mount stop lamp wire (CHMSL) that you...

  • Troubleshooting Right Side Trailer Lights Not Working, Left Side Working Correctly
    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 # PTW2993. 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,...

    Hello Roger. Yes, the Curt pigtail you mentioned can indeed be used on your trailer. The tag is basically saying the plug is pinned/wired to the standard for RV 7-way plugs.

    Hey Robert, it sounds like you might be looking for a replacement USCAR connector like the part # 20147 which is the connector that a 7-way would plug into. This would work as a way to hardwire in a replacement but if you wanted something that utilized Ford connectors you would need to contact a Ford dealer. If instead you were just looking for a replacement 7-way socket you would want the part # PK11893.

  • Reverse Light PIn on a 7-Way Trailer Connector
    The reverse light pin on a traditional 7-way trailer connector, like part # PK11893 or a factory connector if that's what you have on your 2018 Ram, is the center pin. Take a look at the picture I attached that shows all the pin functions. To add a light that runs off your truck's reverse light circuit you can tap into the trailer wiring going into the center pin on the connector or directly into the reverse lights on the back of the truck. Either will work for you.

  • 7-Way Trailer Connector Recommendation for a 2016 Nissan Frontier
    The only way to order a 7-way for your 2016 Nissan Frontier is to go with the part # C56226 which includes the jumper harness and relays. The good news is that you would have spares in case you were to damage a relay. If you happen to already have the round connector at the rear of your vehicle that just a 7-way connector would plug into you could use the part # PK11893 to plug right into that. But we do not have just the harness that would before that on the vehicle wiring.

    Hello Benjamin, thanks for reaching out. The blue wire on a standard 7-way is for brake controller output. Wire color is not always universal though. I have included a picture showing the typical 7-way color coding. If you are unsure of which wires are which on the vehicle side you would need to use a wire tester like part # PTW2993 to poke around and determine the wire functions. Did your truck come from the factory with a 7-way? Or are you adding one aftermarket?

  • Turn Signals but No Brake Lights on Trailer tail Lights
    Any time a trailer has turn signals that work but not the brake lights it can be an interesting situation. This is because the brake lights and turn signals on trailer tail lights are on the same circuit. In this situation it is almost always a bad ground connection. Ground problems normally show up when there is more draw on a system such as when you have the running lights on and then use another function like a turn signal or brake light. Make sure that the vehicle side and trailer...
