Help Finding 7-Way Socket for 2011 Ford Van
Question:
I have the brake controller port behind the dash panel but I do not see a factory trailer connector at the back of the van. Bought it used , so I dont know history. Is there a plug somewhere at the back I can plug into? What do I need to hook up a 7 pin connector for my RV?

Expert Reply:
Your van most likely has the 7-way connector/harness at the rear of it but you'd need to get up behind the rear bumper and look for a round connector that a socket like part # A10-7072VP could plug into. If that's not there you could contact a Ford dealer to see about getting that intermediate harness you would be missing.
Then you can use factory brake controller harnesses like what you referenced with the part # 3034-P with a controller like the # TK63VR.
