Converting From 7-Way Round with Separate Turn SIgnals Brake Signal to 7-Way Blade with Combined  

Updated 12/30/2019 | Published 12/29/2019



Question:

Yes I have a 2002 international with a round 7 way trailer plug which has a brake wire and left and right turn wires Im trying to do away with this plug to put a flat 7 way plug to pull my goseneck trailers with which has brake and turn signal together how do I fix this problem so I can still use my pickup truck

Expert Reply:

Since your 7-way round connector has the stoplight circuit separated from the turn signal circuit what you need is a taillight converter to put both circuits on the same wire like what the 7-way blade you are wanting to install uses. So for that you'd need the part # RM-732. Then for a 7-way connector we have the part # PK11893 as well and you'd be set.
