Need to find and install a 7 blade trailer plug

fields_mj · Apr 5, 2012

Anyone know where I can find a 7 blade trailer plug with the correct wiring harnes for my '93 F250? I can find the 7 blade plug anywhere, but I'm not seeing anything that goes back before '97 on the wireing harnesses. I currently have a 6 pin plug that was on the truck when I got it, but I need to swap it out, or add in a 7 blade so that I can pull a travel trailer.

Do you already have a trailer brake controller wired up?

Yes, I already have a 6 pin round connector on the truck, and it already has a brake controller wired in. I've never used it, and will need to make sure that it works before I go cruzing down the highway with a camper or loaded trailer.

Just get a converter...they make them that plug right in and convert it...the only difference is a charging wire for the camper, so you can charge if while towing off the tow vehicles charging system. If that isn't important, then a converter would be fine. I have a couple that convert my 7 spade, one to a 6 and one to a 4. I now only install the Hoppy ones that have the 7 spade and 4 prong side by side.

Pollak makes a nice metal 7-pole plug for on the truck. That's what I use I got sick of braking the cheep plastic ones.

I've seen a lot of 7 pin to 6 pin adapters, but I've looked for 3 years and haven's seen a 6 pin to 7 pin converter.

I'll do a search on Pollak and see if they still make it one for my truck.

Yeah, that looks like the one

Now I know what to search for

fields_mj · Apr 6, 2012

Searched for the part on ebay with no luck. Also searched for it on amazon with no luck, but ones very similar to it were almost $150. I don't think I'm going to spend that much for one. I can buy a junction box and the connector for $35 and hardwire it in. Factory would have been nice though.

You looking for something like this? Only thing is you don't have the 12v+ wire for charging a battery or for interior lights on a trailer.
