Question:
2011 chevy 1500 silverado the connector you sent does not have a twist way to mount it I have part # 11893 which you said was the correct one what should I do

Expert Reply:
The Pollak Replacement 7-Pole # PK11893 is intended as a factory replacement for a damaged OEM 7-Way, so it will utilize the standard snap in style design (pictured) found on Ford, Chevy, GMC and Nissan trucks and SUVs.
With that said, I am not aware of any 7-Way connectors that use a twist lock style connection, so you may want to cut that side off and replace it with the 4' Pigtail Wiring Harness # PK11998. This uses the standard snap in style that the # PK11893 has and they will connect quickly and easily. It also includes butt connectors and a ring terminal to make the replacement easier as well.
