Trailer wiring harness on truck

[Stroked68]

I need to buy a new pig tail assembly for my trucks trailer wiring harness. Someone hacked into it before I bought it and the probs are already starting. Already patched it a little bit. Its got the big 7 pin connector which works still and its also got off to the side of that a flat 4 connector which isnt working all the way. I'd rather just buy everything new. I dont want to have to carry an adapter for the 7 pin that converts it to flat 4. I went to O'reilleys and it was a 7pin with a built in flat 4. Says it fit ford and gm. Well the pig tail didnt even fit my pig tail on my truck. Anyone else have any ideas where I can get one besides gettin the expensive one from ford? I would also like to get a 5th wheel pig tail for my bed too since Im doing all this. Someone make a kit that does a 5th wheel set up and the 7 pin and flat 4 at the rear of the truck?

The dealer can provide you with an exact replacement for what you have. Not the cheapest, but correct.

Ok thanks dave. I think it was like 75 from ford. Im gonna check ebay too. Its just that I cant find the right pig tail to plug into my truck harness. I guess I could make one work and just do a lot better job on splicing it in and solder it on then the possibilities are endless.

there is a seperate breakout of the wiring harness for the trailer connector.. didn't stop me from having to solder mine on, though, as corrosion had invaded the "weatherproof" connector...

Yea that is what I will do if I cant find anything. I can customize my harness for other things and make it the way I want. Do it right the first time so you dont have to worry about it.

Found this a while back and was going to order one but haven't got to it yet. Don't know how the quality or fitment is but I'm sure other rv type parts houses would have simular products. OEM Quality In Bed Trailer Wiring Plug Adapter for Ford and GM - 55-8446, 55-8784

I bought the connector end by looking at the brand name and it came from Sears but was the same part
