Question:
I need a replacement trailer end connector to connect to my 1995 Ford F-150. The original was round, plastic- not sure if 6 or 7 connector - possibly a 417 connector.Do you have a replacement? Thanks

I am not sure if you need the replacement connector for the vehicle side of your 1995 Ford F-150 or if you need the trailer connector that would plug into the F-150, so I will give you some options for both of them. You can use a circuit tester like part # PTW2993 to check the wires by function when installing a connector.
If the connector you need is on the vehicle side and you determine it is a 6-way, I recommend part # PK12720. This is a plastic 6-pole round pin socket that would be installed on your truck. If you need a 7-way blade connector on the truck, I recommend part # PK12703. If you need the 7-pole round pin socket on your truck, I recommend part # PK11720.
If the connector you need is for your trailer to plug into your truck, you can check the socket on the truck to determine what style connector you need for the trailer. If you need a 6-pole round pin connector I recommend part # PK11604. For a 7-way trailer connector blade-style I recommend part # A7WCB, and for a round pin 7-pole connector I recommend part # PK11700.
I have attached a helpful article that explains trailer wiring you can check out.
