Expert Reply:
To wire a 7-Way trailer connector at the rear of your 1994 Chevy pickup, you will need to start with a working 4-way connector, item # 118315, if your truck is not already equipped with one.
You would then use the 4 Pole to 7 Pole and 4 Pole Adapter, item # 37185, and plug in the 4-Way on the truck to provide the stop turn and tail light functions in the adapter.
If you do not need the brake control feed wire, 12 volt power wire or backup wire for your trailer you can tie one or all of these wires up for future use.
If you need to install a brake controller on your truck and a 12 volt power wire to the 7-Way, we have a kit designed to accomplish this. The brake controller installation kit, item # ETBC7, has all of the hardware and circuit breakers needed to complete a professional installation. The # 37185 adapter mentioned above is also included in this kit. We have installation instructions, see link, for you to review also.
The connector you referred to # PK11893, is designed for use on newer model Chevrolet trucks and there is not a mating connector near the spare tire on a 1994 model.
