The square connector on a 2002 Ford F-350 will work with either the Curt T-Connector Vehicle Wiring Harness part # C55265 or the Ford Replacement OEM Tow Package Wiring Harness part # 118243.

Answer 1

The Ford Replacement OEM Tow Package Wiring Harness, #118243, will not fit the 2002 Ford F-350. For the 2002 Ford F-350 Super Duty, it is a hardwire situation. If the truck came with a 4-Way flat trailer connector, you will need to add part #37185.…

I spoke with my contact at Tow Ready and he said that the Ford Replacement OEM Tow Package Wiring Harness, #118243, is for use on the 1999 to 2001 model super duty trucks. This harness may plug into the factory connector, but the pin layout changed…

Answer 3

The #118243 harness you referrred to is compatible with 1999-2001 F250 and F350 models, and is not compatible with a 2002 model, which would explain why it's not working. Part #74682 is shown as being the proper 7-way for a 2002 Ford F250 or…

The plug on the end of the Tekonsha #118243 that connects to the vehicle does indeed have 4 larger pins and 4 smaller pins. I included a picture of the plug end of the harness, but it isn't super easy to see the pins. It should be noted that this…

For your 2002 Ford F-250 we have the Hopkins 7-Way Fifth Wheel Harness part #40167 which is very similar to the #118243 except designed to fit your specific vehicle. As long as you have the factory 7-way harness at the rear of your truck this is…

Answer 7

The #118243 connector you referenced isn't a confirmed fit for the 2002 Ford Super Duty. My contact at Tekonsha tells me that the connector used on the #118243 is identical to what's on your truck, but it might be pinned out differently. Over…

Answer 8

Although the #118243 shares the same rectangular plug located on the driver's side frame rail as later models, Tow Ready only confirms it as a fit for 1999-2001 Super Duty trucks while the #118242 fits the 1997-2003 F150 and the 2004 F150…

The Hopkins harness part #HM40975 has been confirmed as a fit for your 2002 Ford Super Duty that had a factory 7-way and will provide you with both a 4-way and a 7-way. I attached an install video for you to check out as well.

Answer 12

Take a look at the back side of your existing 7-way trailer connector. There should be a round plug connected to the back of the actual trailer connector. You should be able to slide out the gray catch on that connector then remove it. That round…
