Anyone ever connect a 7 pin connecter to their truck?
I'm looking to install a 7 pin connector in my truck but not sure where to start. I have a hitch but not sure where to start on the wiring. Should I just wire it from the fuse box or what?
Thanks in advance. Posted via Mobile Device

Re: Anyone ever connect a 7 pin connecter to their truck?
All depends on what you want to tow they make a nice adapter the plug into the rear harness and chassis harness. It has three wires both turn wires and stop wire also ground. If you are using electric brakes you run a single 10/12 gauge blue wire from controller to 7 way socket. The other wires are 12v from key (to charge brake away battery or interoir lighting) and back up lights. Hope this helps I have put many trailer sockets on.
