Needing a 7-Way Connector for a 2003 Ford F-150 That Already Has a 4-Pole Flat Connector
Updated 04/11/2017 | Published 04/09/2017
Question:
I have a 2003 Ford F150. It currently has a 4 way trailer connector. The 4 way connector is what we need for pulling our horse trailer. We recently bought a small utility trailer, and the utility trailer has a 7 pin connector. I need to be able to pull the small utility trailer and the horse trailer, so I need both connectors. What parts do I need so that I can do this?

The Tekonsha OEM Tow Package Wiring Harness, # 118242, will allow you to connect a 7-way trailer connector to your 2003 Ford F-150.
This 7-way harness will connect to a wiring plug on your vehicle. The wiring plug will be located at the rear on the driver's side of the vehicle. I have attached a picture that shows the typical location on this plug.
The Tekonsha harness will plug-in to harness. You will also need to add some fuses to your Ford's fuse box under the hood so the 7-way will be operational. All these steps will be explained in the 7-way's installation instructions.
I have also attached an installation video showing this harness being installed.
