Replacement 7 and 4-Way Recommendation for 2005 Ford F-250

Question

Question:

I have a 2005 Ford F-250 Super Duty with a factory hitch and wiring 7-way round pin and separate 4-flat. The 7-way round pin connector is not working. Would like to replace with a 7-way flat pin with separate 4-flat. Current harness does not appear to “plug-in” for easy replacement. Might have to hard-wire a replacement but would rather not if possible. What do you have that would work?

The part # HM40975 normally would plug right in to the 7-way wiring of your 2005 Ford F-250, but if for some reason you have a totally hardwired setup your other solution would be to use the part # HM40975-11998 which would allow you to hardwire the setup to your vehicle wiring.
