Question:

I have a 2006 Ford F250 Super Duty with factory tow. I need to replace my trailer connector and rear-most section of harness, but Im having difficulty locating those parts. Any help would be greatly appreciated, thanks very much.

I do have an option available for you to consider however, the factory pigtail harness you are looking for is not available from the main aftermarket manufacturers. The option we can offer you is a hardwire harness like the 7-Way Super Sealed Connector part # 50-87-009.

This harness will be hardwired into your 2006 Ford F-250's factory wiring harness. As they are not vehicle specific, you will need to test each wire to ensure they are attached to the correct wire. You can do this by using a circuit tester like part # PTW2993. You will need a friend to sit in the vehicle and perform each function while you are testing the wire to ensure the correct connection is made.

You may also want to use the Deka Heat Shrink Butt Connector part # DW05744-10 to make these connections. If you already have the 7-way plug on your truck, you will only need the Replacement Multi-Tow 7-Way & 4 Pole Trailer Connector part # 74682.

I have attached a trailer wiring diagram for your review.
