My 1996 Ford Van has Trailer tow package. Do you have a Seven way plug to existing trailer wiring harness on the van?

If you need to replace the 7-Way on your 1996 Ford Van then I recommend going with the Hopkins Adapter 4-Pole to 7-Pole and 4-Pole # 37185. You can simple cut off the included 4-Way and splice this into your existing wiring if need be. You will want to attach the following colors to the following functions on your Van:

Green - Right Turn/Stop
Yellow - Left Turn/Stop
Brown - Tail/Marker
White - Ground
Blue - Brake Controller
Black - 12V Power
Purple Auxilliary (usually Reverse)

If instead you are wanting to add a 7-Way to your trailer I recommend going with the Trailer Wiring 7-Way Upgrade Kit # HS381-9000 which includes the 7-Way plug as well as a junction box and parts needed for the install. The junction box is labeled to help make the installation easier.

If you are just needing to replace your trailer 7-Way and you do not want the junction box then you will simply need part # H20046 instead.
