Options For Replacing A Broken 7-Way Connector
Question:
My 7 pin connector at the bumper of my truck broke. Can still plug in and everything is wired. I’m looking for a product that will go from 7 pin male to 7 pin female with mounting bracket and 4 pole connection as well. I’d like to be able to simply plug in straight in to the old 7 pin female already wired. Do you have something? I don’t see it anywhere

Hello Evan. I do have a solution for you, but I am afraid we do not offer a product that will fit your exact description.
We do offer a few 7-way extensions that could potentially be used. Something like the TorkLift Wiring Harness Extension # TLW6021. This will plug into the old 7-way and give you a new 7-way plug. It is 21" long though, so you would have to come up with a way to hide all the extra cord. You can use that with a bracket # A10-9394VP for a clean installation. Keep in mind this is only a 7-way and you would need to use an adapter like part # PK12716 for a 4-flat.
My suggestion is to simply replace the broken 7-way with a new one. The Hopkins Endurance Trailer Connector # HM40950 is a great option. This will give you a 4-flat and a 7-way plug. You will also need the # 20147 pigtail and # HM48625 bracket. This is more of a universal solution. If you can tell me the exact year, make and model of your truck, I can see if we have any plug-and-play options for you.

It's a 2006 Tundra. You guys should sell a short adapter for this to be honest. I've scoured the internet and no one is selling one. I'm sure there are others who would buy. I just don't want to cut the wires going to the female connection, they are already pretty short so I would have to splice wires and honestly, I don't feel like doing it haha. But thank you for the part numbers, I'll take a look and see if I want to tackle this myself.
