by:

My Toyota Tundra came from the factory with a weak plastic trailer socket that caused a "trailer disconnected warning" intermittently while towing. I replaced it with the Pollak Metal socket and haven't had a problem since. Highly recommend this part.



by:

Finding the metal female connection can sometimes be difficult, but it is well worth it . No breaking, cracking from stress and heat expansion. I recommend these .



by:

I needed a connector for my trailer and got it over night best service ever highly recommended.



by:

Great Product! Hasn't let us down yet.



by:

great product



by:

Heavy duty metal not plastic



by:

The plastic plugs don’t hold up very well in the bed of the truck to plug in the 5th wheel trailer in nothing can beat the metal ones



by:

Bought this after the cover on my plastic one broke in half so it would not hold the plug in. (It was -20° though). Solids well made piece, nothing here will break at -20°. Etrailer was the only place I could find one that is all metal. Placed the order and had it in hand in 3 days. Never let down by Etrailer.

After 1 year its holding up great. No signs of rust either, Minnesota loves salting the h*ll out of the roads in the winter. I did give the inside contacts a good coat of dielectric grease And they are looking god too. Great product.



by:

good product made of steel not plastic,made in tiawan ,better than china,would like one made in USA. maybe etrailer can find more parts made in USA i would be willing to pay more.its time to take back our country,the USA.

Thanks for the feedback, happy to hear you are pleased with your vehicle connection. If you need the trailer plug, that is available as Part # PK12702. It is linked above as a related part.


by:

Product is much better than the plastic version. The receptacle has a very strong spring on the lid and a hook to lock the trailer plug into it.
The plug is galvanized and not stainless how ever, so it will corrode and rust in the Wisconsin rust belt eventually. After 1 year how ever it is fine.
I bought the metal version for out custom work trucks that I build for our company. The protective lids on the plastic ones were getting broken. The metal plug is more durable and has solved that issue.



by:

Easy to install and works great. Can always rely on etrailer for great parts, fast shipping, and the best price around.

Everything seems to be working well.



by:

Still very happy with this unit I sold that truck But remove the trailer plug from It & reinstalled it on my replacement truck & still use it,
this was worth the effort.



by:

I am very grateful to etrailer for always providing excellent service. Orders are received in a timely and accurate fashion. The quality of their products is superb. All items ordered function as described with no malfunctions. The trailer and vehicle wiring connectors I have ordered were a great replacement for old existing equipment that was constantly failing.
Very professional company. Very high quality products. I look forward to continued business with them.



by:

Very heavy duty connector, metal body, brass terminals, metal locking pin. We use them for construction work all day long. They will take the abuse the workers put them through.



by:

After being unhappy with plastic connectors I picked one of these up and it seems to fix all my problems with covers breaking off.



by:

JENA D i've used these plug ins for my shear that attaches to my skid loader. Were in the iron and steel business, my wife irons and i steel. I've used these plug ins for about 19 years now and have had real good luck with them.YOU got the order right and they arrived on time who do i talk to about getting YOU a raise. Thanks again Donnie



by:

Going to rewire my pickup truck trailer circuit , this is last piece I needed. This is high quality plug for my r v . Thanks



by:

Everything arrived as expected and all fit perfectly!! This is not my first purchase from etrailer, and as before, shipping was timely and all components were as they advertised them to be. I will not hesitate to order again when I need something they offer.



by:

like the flush mount and compact of socket, and preferred the metal case over plastic one.



by:

Works great, Very easy to install. The rubber plug in the back is the only difficult part to deal with. I Place a dab of silicone around it to make a better water proof fit.



by:

Good quality product. MUCH BETTER THAN THE BLACK PLASTIC VERSION of this item.
I mounted this under the back bumper of my SUV so that it is inconspicuous from view.



by:

Good quality, excellent product.
The
only thing they missed IMHO is to put a rubber gasket to the cap.



by:

great product super durable can't go by the colors on the back of the connector though



by:

Used in mixed fleet applications. Reliable quality with easy installation. Metal construction seems to provide more service life.



by:

Great product that is still in great shape despite riding underneath my off road vehicle on some seriously tough trails throughout the 4 Corners.

  • How to Determine Functions of Trailer Connectors
    The function of trailer connectors are often similar, as evidenced by the accompanying diagram which shows the functions of 7-ways. It really depends on how the connector is wired; that said, there is an easy way for you to determine the functions of a connector. All you need is the Hopkins Tow Doctor Trailer End Test Unit # HM50928 in order to test the trailer-side 7-way. I have also added a link to a help article on trailer wiring which I strongly recommend checking out.

  • Brake Controller Install Recommendation for a 2013 Chevy Silverado
    For your 2013 Chevy Silverado there is brake controller wiring available under the dash. Below the steering column, there is a bundle of wires tied together with white tape, located left of the brake pedal. This bundle of wires is the tow package for the brake controller. Carefully cut the white tape binding the wires, and pull the wires down from underneath the steering column. You will use these wires to wire up the controller. There is a few connections that need to be made under the...

  • How to Make Coiled 7-Way to 7-Way Tow Bar Wiring Extension
    I have a solution for you, but surprisingly we don't offer a coiled 7-way to 7-way extension for flat towing. What you would need is to start with the part # WG54006-046 and then wire it to the part # A7WCB so that you have a coiled 8 foot long 7-way to 7-way. If you needed a socket you would need part # PK12703. For just replacement bulb and sockets you would want part # 294-0774.

  • Can You Install a 4-Way On a Trailer With 7 Wires
    The standard 4-way trailer connector contains circuits for left stop/brake lights, right stop/brake lights, running lights and a ground. If your trailer/vehicle has combined wiring i.e. brake and turn signals are on the same circuit and you only need the above lights/functions then yes you can install a 4-way trailer connector. If you are replacing a standard 7-way then you will not have any issues, just hook up the wires you need to the correct terminals and cap the others off. I have...

  • Are Available 7-Way Connectors Wired for US Made Trailers
    The 7-Way trailer wiring sockets we have available such as the Pollak Metal # PK12703 referenced in your question do indeed feature the standard US pin configuration. I have attached an image that shows the pin locations and functions that you can use for reference. This is a 7-Way for the vehicle end. For the trailer end you will use # PK12702. Keep in mind though that the actual wire color used on both the vehicle and trailer can differ. Because of this it is always best to test the...

    It sounds like you have a fault in the wiring between your fuse box and the 7-pin connector, a bad connection, or a bad connector. You should check the wiring at your connector first to make sure there is no corrosion or damage. If there isn't I recommend tracing the wires to the connector to see if there is any damage. If there isn't a problem with your wiring then you should replace your connector. The Pollak Metal 7-Pole, RV-Style Trailer Socket - Vehicle End item # PK12703 you were...

  • Trailer Brake Controller Installation on a 2015 GMC Acadia
    The vehicle is indeed pre-wired, as you suspected. To get completely set up, you'll need a brake controller, the appropriate wiring harness to connect the controller to the vehicle and a trailer connector for the rear of the vehicle. All the rest of the wiring is ran, but you'll need some fuses and relays to activate the tow package wiring. For a brake controller, you can't go wrong with the Tekonsha P3, part # 90195. The P3 is one of the most user-friendly brake controllers available....

  • Wiring Extension for Flat Towing a Vehicle Behind Monaco RV with 7-Way Trailer Connector
    In order to determine the proper set up for your new towed vehicle (called a toad; the vehicle you will be flat towing behind the motor home) I would need to know the year, make, and model of that vehicle. Most of the tow bar wiring uses a 4-Way flat trailer connector with a few exceptions. Since your RV has a 7-Way trailer connector ideally you would use a cable that has a 7-Way on one end to plug into the RV and a matching connector on the other end for the tow bar wiring/lighting system...

  • How To Wire the Pollak Metal 7-Pole, RV-Style Trailer Socket
    In regards to installing the Pollak Metal 7-Pole, RV-Style Trailer Socket part # PK12703, the colors mentioned are just a reference and you should use the actual pin locations for proper installation. I have attached a link below with these correct locations. The yellow wire is mostly used for the left stop/turn signal circuit so in which case it would need to be installed on the pin in the 9 o'clock position (facing forward).

  • What Gauge Wire Is Needed To Run Charge Line for Battery From Truck to Trailer
    The wire that runs from the vehicle's battery to the 7-way trailer connector and then from the 7-way trailer connector to the trailer battery should be at least a 10 gauge. If you don't have any 10 gauge wire you can purchase part # 10-1-1 by the foot. Please note, you will need a circuit breaker part # 9510 on this charge line wire about 6" away from the battery on the tow vehicle. The 7-way trailer connector can then be used to attach and disconnect the charge line between the tow vehicle...

  • No Power To 12 Volt Pin On 7-Way Of a GM Truck
    I did not see where you listed the year, make, and model of your tow vehicle which I would need in order to confirm the fuse location (if present) but these are almost always listed in the owner's manual so that is where I recommend that you look. If you already checked the M8 stud on the fuse box then you best option is to just run a new 12 volt power wire of your own with part # RM-156-75.

  • No Power to Trailer Brakes when Connected to 2003 Ford F-350
    The blue wire on a brake controller is output to the trailer brakes. If that wire is not connected the trailer brakes will not be getting any power. If there is a break in that wire somewhere between the controller and the trailer connector then that could be why it isn't working when the wire is connected. You could bypass it by running your own wire if you wanted to. The ABS system should be separate from the wiring for the brake controller. Usually the only time the ABS comes into play...

  • Brake Controller On 2002 Chevy Silverado 2500 Works With Override But Not Brake Pedal
    It sounds like you are having issues with brake output pin inside the trailer connector on your 2002 Chevrolet Silverado 2500. If you are getting 12 volts on the brake output wire directly after this with the override but not the brake pedal then the issue is most likely the notorious blown CHMSL fuse which is located in the interior fuse box I believe. Please let me if the fuse is still good and this does not fix your issue.

  • Should 12 Volt Circuit be the Center Pin or 1 Oclock Pin in a Vehicle Side 7-Way Trailer Connector
    I would stick with the standard 12 volt circuit at the 1:00 position rather than use the center pin, which is normally used for reverse lights. Please note that the 12 volt circuit on a trailer connector, no matter which pin it is associated with, will not be able to charge up a 12 volt vehicle battery (if that was your plan). It can only maintain the charge level of the battery. So if you had something using power from the Toad battery while flat towing it then the drain would be greater...

The towing computer on the newer GMC trucks is kind of finicky and if it did not recognize the trailer, or the trailer was not setup in the system it will not send power to the trailer brakes. If you were getting the no trailer connected message you will need to use the 7-Way Trailer Adapter # C57003 which has load resistors and will help the computer detect the trailer.

You'd need two # DW05741-1 ring terminals to connect to the breaker and a # 44-5356A ring terminal to connect at the battery.
