Replacement 7-Way Blade Vehicle Wiring Harness For a 1997 Ford F-150 Truck
Question:
I have been looking at the following: Ford Replacement OEM Tow Package Wiring Harness, 7-Way Item # 118242 to get but, the two connectors on the end are different with my vehicle. I attached two pictures of the connectors. The gray connector shown is on the truck side because the trailer side is broken. The black connector is on the trailer wiring harness. I need a 7-Way trailer connector on the end. Do you sell one of these?

Expert Reply:
The Ford Replacement OEM Tow Package Wiring Harness # 118242 will connect to your 1997 Ford F-150 further up the harness inside the frame rail. I have included a picture of this connector. You will not use the black and gray connectors that you have included in your pictures.
I recommend using Dielectric Grease # 11755 on the wiring connectors. This will help protect the wiring connectors from moisture and corrosion. A new Mounting Bracket # PK12711U may be required if your old bracket cannot be reused.
