• Comparing the Hopkins 7-way part # HM40950 and Pollak Replacement 7-Pole # PK11893
  
• The Hopkins 7-way part # HM40950 that you referenced is designed to fit the same mounting bracket as the # PK11893 that you also referenced. I'd go with the part # HM40950 though as it has a 4-way connector below the 7-way.

• How to Replace the USCAR Connector on a Trailer Wiring Harness
  
• In order to determine the correct function of the wires that are included with the Ford Replacement OEM Tow Package Wiring Harness part # 118242 you are going to want to plug the harness into the vehicle and have a friend sit in the cab and operate the signals while you are testing them with a circuit tester like part # ALL640595. It does not appear that the wires leading into the USCAR connector follow the RV standard 7-way wiring colors exactly. In order to replace the USCAR connector...

• How to Use the Tekonsha Prodigy Brake Controller Part # 90250 on a 2018 Volkswagen Atlas SEL
  
• Yes, the Tekonsha Prodigy RF Wireless Trailer Brake Controller part # 90250 will work on your 2018 Volkswagen Atlas SEL as long as you have a 7-way trailer connector. If you do not already have a 7-way trailer connector then you are going to first need a 4-way trailer connector and then a 4 to 7-way trailer connector. For this, I recommend using the T-One Vehicle Wiring Harness part # 118754 with the Universal Installation Kit for Trailer Brake Controller part # ETBC7. Please note that...

• Troubleshooting Electric Lockout on Trailer with Surge Coupler
  
• Your description of your trailer setup indicates that your surge coupler has an electric lockout feature to allow you to reverse the trailer without the surge brakes engaging. Some surge couplers use a manual lockout but yours has a solenoid with two wires (ground and hot) that take in the truck's reverse light signal; this closes the solenoid so no hydraulic brake fluid pressure can reach your brakes when you back up. Somewhere in your wiring you are losing your connection to the Silverado's...

• Recommended Trailer Brake Controller for 2019 Toyota Tundra SR
  
• At this point (June '19) trailer brake controller makers like Redarc have not had time to get their hands on the 2019 Tundra SR for doing test installations but there is one trailer brake controller that I can assure you will work fine for you so long as your truck has a functioning 7-way trailer connector like # PK11893. The Curt Echo # C51180 installs without any cutting or splicing of wires in the truck. The installation consists of plugging it in at your 7-way, plugging the trailer's...

• Will the Hopkins Endurance # HM40920 Fit a 2018 Volkswagen Atlas
  
• As long as you have a US Car Connector on your 2018 Volkswagen Atlas you can connect the Pollak Connector Socket # PK11893 OR the Hopkins Endurance # HM40920 to your vehicle. 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. I have attached some review...

• 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. If you...

• Circuits and Functions Supported by 4-Pole Flat Trailer Wiring
  
• In 4-pole flat type trailer wiring such as part # 002220 the tail light circuit (also known as the running light circuit) is usually assigned to the brown wire which connects to the pin next to the ground pin. You can see this in the photo I linked for you. This type of wiring format does not support an additional circuit for +12V auxiliary power as might be needed to top off a trailer-mounted battery or to operate a jack or winch on the trailer. Other wiring formats with additional...

• Troubleshooting Gooseneck Trailer Wiring Connection with Tow Vehicle
  
• It sounds like you have tested your truck with other trailers and your trailer with other trucks and have found the wiring circuits to connect and function correctly. This tends to suggest that there is just an issue between the two specific connectors. 7-way sockets and plugs like # PK11893 that you referenced and # A10-7W6 will vary slightly in their fit with one another so in some cases one or more circuits in the 7-way, such as the trailer brake circuit for example, may not make good...

• Parts Needed to Install 7-Way Trailer Wiring on a 2012 Subaru Outback Wagon
  
• In 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. The...

• 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.

• Troubleshooting Ground on Trailer Wiring on 2004 Chevy Silverado 2500 HD
  
• Most likely the issue you're having with your trailer lights not functioning is due to a weak ground. The tester you use on the truck's socket does not draw much power at all, nowhere near the current drawn by the actual trailer lights when the trailer is connected. This is why the truck tests okay but still does not activate the trailer lights. I suggest you locate and disconnect the trailer socket's ground wire on the Silverado. Sand off the grounding point to expose clean bare metal,...

• Availability of Replacement 7-Pole, RV-Style Trailer Connector Plug for 1995 Ford F-250 and F-350
  
• Yes, you will want the Pollak Replacement 7-Pole, RV-Style Trailer Connector Socket, # PK11893. This 7-pole, sealed, RV-style trailer connector plugs into the factory socket on your Ford truck and is an exact OE replacement on Ford trucks. The plug features the brake light and turn functions on the second pins from the top, on either side. I would double check that your factory harness connector has these functions located on the same pins, in the off chance that there may be a mis-wire...

• Replacement 7-Way Connector Needed for 2007 Nissan Frontier
  
• If you need to change out the complete wiring harness on your 2007 Nissan Frontier then you will need the Replacement Wiring Harness # 118267. If you have the US carr connector still intact then you can use the Pollak # PK11893, but if you just have bare wires you would want the Pollak # PK12-707E instead. I have attached a picture with the typical wiring setup for a vehicle side 7-Way. You will want to use a Circuit Tester # PTW2992 to verify the different functions of your wiring...

• Troubleshooting 7-Way Connector Not Working on a 2000 Chevy Silverado 1500
  
• If your trailer is working properly with other vehicles then the problem is definitely on your 2000 Chevy Silverado 1500. The fuse that you referenced I believe is for the 12V power but I could be mistaken. I tried looking up the online owner's manual but it didn't really identify the various fuses with numbers. With that being said, the best place to start is right at the 7-Way connector on your Chevy. Using a circuit tester like part # PTW2991 or a multimeter like part # ALL648349...

This controller is compatible with standard electric drum brakes but not electric-over-hydraulic actuators.

• Replacement 7-Way Trailer Connector for a 2006 Chevrolet Silverado 1500
  
• If your 2006 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 came with a factory 7-way trailer connector then you will not need to do any wiring to install the Pollak 7-Pole, RV-Style Trailer Connector Socket w/ Wiring Harness and Mounting Bracket part # PK11898. If this is the case then I actually recommend you use the Pollak Replacement 7-Pole, RV-Style Trailer Connector Socket part # PK11893 with the Mounting Bracket and Installation Hardware - Pollak 7-Pole, RV-Style Trailer Connector part # PK12711U as it...

• Replacement for Pollok PA66-MD40 on 2012 MB Sprinter Pleasure-Way
  
• If you already have the Pollak PA66-MD40 you referenced, then the # PK11893-11933 is the correct replacement part. If you meant you also have a 6-way square plug on the trailer and the 7-way on your vehicle, I recommend the 7-way to 4-way adapter like # TR20141 and then using the Adapter 4 Way Flat to 6 Way Square for Jayco # 30104.

• 7-Way Trailer Wiring Connector for Bed of 2016 GMC Sierra 3500
  
• Sounds you are referring to 7-way wiring ran to the very rear of the truck near the bumper. So what you would need to install a 7-way in the bed of the truck is the 5th wheel 7-way wiring kit part # 50-97-410. This plugs inline to that connector and gives you a harness and 7-way that will reach up to the wheel well. I attached an install video for this kit on a 2016 GMC Sierra 3500 just like yours as well.

First, disconnect the trailer plug from the tow vehicle socket to prevent any chance of your vehicle's brake...

• Wiring Harness for 2015 GMC 2500 with Factory 5th Wheel Wiring
  
• The factory 5th wheel/gooseneck wiring harness will be bundled up either behind the spare tire at the bumper beam or on the driver-side frame rail behind the rear tire. The factory harness will have a plug, likely with a cap, that connects to the back of a 7-way connector, like # PK11893, and is likely protected by wire loom. This harness should be long enough to reach to the side of the bed to install a 7-way trailer connector. If you cannot find the factory 5th wheel/gooseneck harness,...

• Where to Connect a Trailer Brake Controller Red Wire on a 1994 Chevy K1500 Z71
  
• In order to find the correct wire on the brake switch to connect to the red wire on a brake controller, you will need to use a circuit tester like # ALL640595 if needed. Probe the wires on the brake switch located above the brake pedal. You are looking for the wire that shows a signal only when the brake pedal is pressed and not also with the headlights or turn signals. Once you have found the correct wire attach the brake controller red wire to it. There is another option. On some...

• 7-Way Trailer Connector on Newmar Motorhome Missing Pin for 12-Volt Auxiliary Power to Trailer
  
• The pins themselves aren't available separately. Your best course of action would be to replace your existing 7-way with one like the # PK11893 you mentioned. The pigtail, part # PK11998 would plug into the back of the replacement connector, and to activate the 12-volt power supply circuit, you'd need to run a length of 10 gauge wire # 10-1-1, which is sold by the foot from the black wire on the pigtail to the positive battery terminal with a 40 amp circuit breaker # 9510 installed inline.
