7-Way Trailer Wiring Connector Recommendation for a 1999 Ford F-250 with Factory 4-Way
Question:
Bought and have in hand HM40975-11998. My question is what fuses will be needed with this set up on my 1999 F250Sd that came with a 4 way plug with towing package . Thank You

Expert Reply:
To wire in the # HM40975-11998 would require a couple fuses and relays. Your best option is going to be to get the # 118243 instead as it comes with the fuses and relays needed. It also has a square connector that will mate right up to the trailer wiring connector you have on your truck already.
Trying to install the harness you have would be quite a headache. I would strongly recommend you get the part # 118243.
I attached an install video for this harness for you to check out as well.
