Question:

I have a 2016 Ford 250 Transit Van. It appears to have a 6 PIN plug-in under the body near the back on the drivers side that would be for a Trailer light kit. Do you have a trailer light kit for this?

Expert Reply:

I tried checking to see if we know of any connectors that should be for trailer wiring on the back of a 2016 Ford Transit T250 but it doesn't look like we have any that fit a connector like what you show. If your T250 came with the tow package then you would use a round US Car Connector like the Curt # C55774 otherwise you'd need something like the Curt T-Connector # C56327 for a 4-Way and then the Wiring Kit # ETBC7 with the extra wiring # 10-2-1 to add a fully functioning 7-Way.

What you can do is test the pin locations on the connector you found with a circuit tester like part # PTW2979 to see if they are somehow tied to the typical functions that you would find on a trailer. If they are then you could possibly still use the ETBC7 and ETBCXW kits by cutting off the connectors and splicing everything together per function.
