2011 Ford Van Trailer Wiring Installation And Review Videos

Trailer Wiring Harness Adapter Installation - 2011 Ford Van- Video

Today, on our 2011 Ford Van, we're going to be taking a look at the tow-ready four pole to seven pole vehicle end adapter, part number 30717. This is what our adapter looks like fully installed, and as you can see it has a nice cover to keep any dirt and debris or moisture out of the plug. As you can see, back here we have our four pole. We have a white ground wire, and then we have three separate wires that have butt connectors on them. On our application, we're not going to be using them, but the blue wire typically goes to your brake controller, the black wire is going to go to a 12-volt power supply, and the yellow wire typically goes into your reverse light socket. Now, to finish up our installation, to get everything all nice and tucked away, we're going to be using this long no-drill bracket, and you can pick one up using part number 18136, as well as this mounting bracket for a seven-way style plug, and this works with the universal mounting as well as the OEM style, and you can pick one up using part number TM76474. Now, the bracket is going to come with all the mounting hardware. Your seven-way is going to sit in here, and as you can see the oblong holes give you enough room so that they're securely mounted. more

Tekonsha 4-Pole Vehicle End Installation - 2011 Ford Van- Video

Today on our 2011 Ford van, we're going to be taking a look at the Tekonsha Vehicle End 4-pole Connector, part number 118001. Now this is what the kit is going to consist of. You're going to have a 4-pole flat vehicle end, and the cable is 48" long, as well as you're going to get four wire taps. But on our installation, we're going to be replacing them with heat shrink butt connectors, and you can pick those up using part number DW05744-5. Here's going to be our vehicle end of the 4-pole. Now, like a lot of applications, after time, rust and corrosion will start to build up, and it's not going to make a good connection, so we're going to go and install our new kit. Let's go ahead and show you how we get it installed. more
