How Can I Replace The OEM 7-Way Plug On A 1997 Ford F-250 HD?
Question:
I have a 1997 ford f250 HD. I need to replace the truck side 7 pin. The current one wires to the factory plugs. There are two of them. They are both round and one has 3 pins and the other has 4 pins. I cant find anything that will work with this.

Expert Reply:
I do have a potential solution for you, but I do not have a 7 way harness that will plug in to the round plugs you described. I recommend using a pre-wired connector like part # 20023. You will have to do a bit of cutting and splicing, and this kit comes with everything needed to do so. This comes with a 7' wire lead, so you may have to cut it down to size. Wire colors are not universal, so using a wire probe like part # PTW2993 can make determining wire function much easier.
I have included a link to an install video for the # 20023 below.
