This 7-pole, sealed, RV-style trailer connector connects directly to the rectangular OEM wiring harness on Dodge or Chrysler trucks with included Dodge/Chrysler OEM plug adapter.Great customer support. Texted a picture of what I needed and they pulled up a part number. Shipping was quic.
Works perfectly and plugs in just fine to original equipment
Fast shipping. Great quality. Thanks
Quick easy great product
This eliminates the need for the Chrysler oem trailer connector so when damaged you can buy the GM/Ford style for 1/5 the cost. This kit is even less expensive than the big C's connector alone and is manufactured by the same company!
The item is NOT - Repeat NOT - a direct replacement for the Pollak PA66-MD40 as per the Q & A section for this part. It does NOT fit properly unless you re-drill either the actual unit or the receiver that this is attached to. Please update your description / Q&A to reflect this reality. For the record, my rig had the PA66-MD40 in it (Sprinter Van 3500XD) and the actual replacement part that DID work came directly from Mercedes.
Worked fine on my RV to replace the original which got broken. Just plug in and drill 4 holes, as the screw holes did not line up, but the old holes were covered by the new bracket. don't really need the 8" cord, but it does not hurt anything.
Good communication. Fast shipping. Received part ordered. Fast tracking.
This replaced the 7 pin connector on my Dynamax Isata 3 Motorhome. It replaced the original which had developed internal corrosion and was causing multiple electrical gremlins. It is an easy and direct replacement . If you have a MB or other brand Sprinter RV with taillight or running lights which will not turn off or other electrical gremlins, check your 7 pin connector first. This one is the right replacement.
I have a 2002 Jeep Liberty Limited and I have always hated the plug that came with the vehicle. Every time I went to tow a trailer I cringed at how long it was going to take for me to get my lights working properly. Finding a replacement piece from anywhere other than a dealer is next to impossible and the Chrysler dealer wanted a small fortune for a new plug. I finally found this piece on the website and it arrived yesterday. Other than having to drill new holes because these didn't line up this is a dream come true. I plugged in the new piece, plugged in the trailer and everything worked like a dream. Worth every penny spent!
Ok. So, 1 star for fair pricing. I guess the fit applicability is getting old so a discounted price was needed to sell it. Regardless, I was satisfied with the price, until I installed it.
Second star is for the quality of the 7-pin plug. It is the same manufacturer as the OEM.
Only 2 stars!!! Reasons why: 7-pin plug is not a direct fit on my 2008 Ram 2500, even though the website said it was. The top holes are close but I had to open them up. Bottom holes are not even close. I drilled new holes in my bumper to make it fit. First time I unplugged the adapter from the plug, the plastic locking pieces disintegrated. ZERO locking capability. Had to try-wrap the connector on to make it stay. And, had to go and buy hardware to mount it to my truck. Can't replace it with an OEM part in the future because I have extra holes in my bumper. Lastly, very disappointing 2-day shipping. I paid quite a bit extra for 2-day shipping, and actually got 4-day shipping. I ordered it late Wednesday evening. It shipped Thursday but the first full day of shipment is considered the first day so that would be Friday. Ridiculous!! So, I should've got it Saturday, when I had time to install it. Not on Monday!! Where I had to install it after work after it rained!
This is not a direct replacement for part number pa66-md40. The plug does fit into the factory harness but, despite the unverified endorsement from Pollak on the product page, the mounting holes are a different pattern and will require you to re-drill your bumper. Etrailer dropped the ball on this one. Search the web and buy the OEM part for a couple bucks more and do it right the first time.
This adaptor works perfectly for hooking up the factory wiring harness in a non OEM Mercedes-Benz trailer hitch installation. Order the 2 factory wiring harnesses and ECU and plug this in, add whatever hitch assembly you like for a factory style installation. Don't forget to order the bracket for mounting, (PK12711U). Prompt delivery as promised.
Great service, only a few days getting it in Eastern Washington State.
Unit installed easily, although the four new mounting holes had to be drilled, which was expected. Mark and drill one hole. Using the original self taping screws, bolt connector in firmly, use a clearance drill in the other three holes to mark bracket, remove connector and drill the other three tap-size holes. Replace connector and screw in all four bolts. Plug the wires together and test. Easy to do -- just a few minutes..
The main great feature of this 7 way plug is the ease of installation . This is my second Chrysler plug and functionality is of great quality.

Doing very well, should outlast truck!
The ordering process was great, I found the staff to be knowledgeable and friendly. The 7 pin plug assembly I purchased did not solve my issues, but that is at no fault of etrailer.com. I got the product I ordered in a timely manner and a reasonable price. Apparently my old plug was not defective so I know have to keep troubleshooting.
Unfortunately this product did not fit my 2016 Sprinter stock wiring as described

This item connects directly to the OEM wiring harness on Dodge or Chrysler trucks with included DodgeChrysler OEM plug adapter. If you have a 2016 Mercedes-Benz Sprinter 2500 then the part you need is : Item # TK22115.
Perfect fit for my 2011 Sprinter 3500 aka 2012 Airstream Interstate. Plugged right in to the factory harness using the supplied adapter. Bolt holes did not line up with the OEM plug bolt holes, but nothing a drill could not solve in short order.
Actually have having a problem keeping it connected. All fits fine, but wire to factory plug gets loose and I lose lights and brakes. Has been a bit of a pain.

Product continues to work fine. Figured out how to get it to fit tighter and havent had any problems.
screw holes for mounting plug in bracket TOO far apart and i had to drill new holes to make it fit. in the future you may want to inquire about this dimension before sending. product latch for cable very flimsy to back of connector mine broke. overall service good delivery time good
I purchased this product so I wouldnt have to cut in to the Factory Wiring for this Trailer Plug.This part plug right into the factory wires and I was done in about 15 minutes
This was the perfect replacement for factory tow hitch for my 1999.dodge ram 1500 quad cab. The only thing I had to do is drill new holes for the connector because this one is a tad bit bigger than original.

I purchased the 90° 7-pole wiring harness for the bed of my F250 and the OEM replacement 7-pin harness for the rear bumper. I'm the 2nd owner and for a long time I left the plastic bed-liner in it. When I removed it recently I discovered there was a hole in the bedside from the previous owner. I use my truck to pull a fifth-wheel camper too, and the bumper wiring harness pretty much maxes out my trailer's pigtail. Both wiring harnesses were very easy to install, and I was even able to trim the spacer provided with the kit to fit the contour of the bed where the previous owner had drilled the hole. It looks like it came installed from the factory!
I have a 1999 F250 4x4 and wanted to upgrade from 6 round to 7 round to match the car trailer I had just bought. I had almost given up on finding a plug and play up grade and was preparing myself to start cutting wires. I'm so thankful that I found this web sight. They have a very large selection including the one that I needed. On top of that the video of how to install was spot on. I would not have thought of having to add a fuse and upgrade another under the hood.
They were very helpful, great turnaround time and great product. I will definitely buy from them again.
Attached are images of the installation in a 1999 Ford F250 Super Duty 4WD 4 Door 8' bed. I left the 4 prong connection mounted, and tied and bagged the connection for future use if needed.
I got this 7 way plug for my 99 f350 because the old one was corroded and didn't work properly. This unit was priced right arrived in a timely manner and was very simple to install. I just had to find where on the harness the old one plugged in and plug the new one in.

One year later and it has performed flawless!
the parts fit, brake controller is now working, just confused which relay was 38 and 39. I guessed and was right. thank you for the fast service. Yes I will order again.
Customer service is a joke. Attempted to return an unopened item and they wanted to charge a fee of more than half what the item cost. Never doing business with them again!
Showed in stock when purchased, it was not in stock, and I am now waiting for a ship date to be determined.
Plugged right into my original wire harness everything went together just fine
Done what it said and said what it did all the wires were spot on
Right part right plug on both end . 1 st pick is old harness 2nd is new harness. 3 rd is howl will use it .
Excellent harness for my super duty. After using one year with multiple trailers it's still working great.

Great, I have pulled several different trailers all lights work. No problems.
I replaced my 22 year old factory plug with this and it works perfectly. Would highly recommend if you are looking for the OEM replacement plug.
Part was just as described, it plugged right in to my vehicles wire harness and now provides trailer lighting. I would recommend etrailer to anyone!
I upgraded the tow package wiring on a "new to me" 1999 F250 Superduty from the jerry-rigged mess the previous owner had gobbed together to one utilizing the truck's existing trailer tow package, both for the rear of the truck and inside the box for the gooseneck ball hitch. The wiring harness, receptacles, et. al. from etrailer plugged right into the truck's wiring harness with ease, and I would highly recommend their products.
Customer service was impeccable...assisted with an order mix-up on my part, helped me locate the truck's wiring harness plug under the dash, and provided help with finding the correct harness for an older model trailer brake that I already possessed.
To the staff at etrailer---thanks and keep up the great work! When I need trailer parts again, you will be the first I contact!
Well , first, I thought it was a ford replacement part , when it came in , not 1 but 2 of them serparate packages , then when I go to install, I see it’s not the double with regular plug also, so this part is useless for me. The one on my truck has 7 pin and 5 pin together. You can not take 7 pin out and switch with new one. Not sure why you sent two kits

You mentioned that you wanted to have a harness that would have both the 7- and 4-way connection. I am happy to see if we have what you are looking for. What is the year, make, and model of your truck? Did it come with a factory 7 way?

Yes ma’am, it came from Ford that way F-450 platinum, all options. Let me know if you carry the dual plug together,please

I looked at everything that we have for the 2016 Ford 450 Platinum Dually and we do not have a seven way to offer that also comes with the four way. I had wanted to offer part HM40975 as a solution because it works with the Ford 350 however it will not. I am guessing it is because the F 450 does not have the round US Carr connection. That is my best guess.
Great plug and play product. The factory option costs (depending upon the source) 3-4 times what etrailer offers, so this was the clear and wise choice. Fit the factory harness with no modifications.

Still seems to be working well. Thanks for the check up.
I have a 1999 Ford F350 Superduty. Fit perfect to the old ford bracket and the wiring harness was an exact fit. Works like a charm.
It is great that it comes with the relays and fuses and instructions for me to take off my 4-way factory plug and install the 7-way with the factory connector. It is plug and play easy. The only thing lacking is a bracket to mount the 7-way connector. I also fit this one because it has the round sealed plug to be able to change out the 7-way easily should it become damaged or if I want to change the style.
Should have bought the factory end. The wiring harness on my truck didn't match. I had to cutoff my old end and re-terminated to the new plug in order to make it work. Kind of defeated the purpose of having factory made ends.

This connector is only compatible with 1999-2001 F-250F-350 Super Duties. It will also work with 1999-2001 F-450/550 Cab and Chassis with factory 4 connectors and 2001 F-350 Cab and Chassis with factory 4 connector.
Yup, that's right even if you voted for Hillary you can install this wiring in your truck. Get a good hole saw, cut hole, plug and play!

Works great, idiot proof.
I utilized this product on my 1999, Ford, F-350 Super Duty to replace the OEM factory harness and it worked exactly as promised. Within several minutes the installation was completed and I was ready to tow. e-trailer customer service is excellent!

Still works fine!
I bought the 118243 replacement 7 way trailer connector for my 2000 Ford F250 7.3 Super Duty. Hooked it up in less than an hour. I also needed the adapter bracket 11840. Without this bracket, the 118243 connector would not mount correctly to my truck. It would not clear the bottom of my bumper in the original mounting position on the bumper. I also bought the Pollak 7 plus 4 way connector because I have multiple trailers with different connectors. This product is HM40975 and I highly recommend that it be purchased with the other two products.
The guys at eTrailer really know their products and are so helpful. They know what exceptional customer service is all about. Also, I love all of their online videos and information on the website that allows you to make informed decisions. Their prices are very competitive too. With free shipping over $99, they can't be beat.. For those reasons, I will not buy trailer gear anywhere else.
Awesome direct replacement fit . Plug and play replacement. I did have to drill a hole in my trucks mounting location as not all the holes lined up exactly but that was a minor inconvenience for the ease of replacement!

A year later its still working great
This was exactly what I was looking for to replace the buggy and shorted out wiring between the factory connection to the Hopkins 7 way plug receptacle on our 2001 F250 work rig. There is a lack of a 4 wire plug for the spot on the factory mount but we never use that anyway and everyone has an adapter in their toolbox. The only hard thing about installing this was removing the old harness from the factory connector. There is plenty of length to reach from the factory plug just behind the spare tire to the receptacle mounting just under the bumper. eTrailer’s customer service was top notch in helping me select this specific harness for my application and needs, if you have any doubt that this is the part you need I highly suggest contacting them first.
Fits my 2000 F250 Superduty perfectly. I ordered this with the 7 and 4 pole trailer connector HM40975 since my boat trailer has the 4 pin. Too bad they don't sell the wire harness without the 7 pole if you go that route. Had to shim 3/4" for the bracket or the plug would be obstructed by the bumper. I'm very pleased with the result and service.
