we just got a new trailer with the 7 pin harness for brakes. one of the trucks that will be pulling this trailer is a 2006 f150. here is my problem.. the truck only has the 4 pin harness, and we need to put a 7 pin round plug on it. i have looked, and cant find any info on doing this for an 06. i did find the thread for the 04 truck where the new harnes plugs in between the old harness. is the harness the same between the 04 and 06 trucks? if so then i should be able to just buy a harness for an 04 and install it on our 06 right?

thanks for any help!

thanks for that link. as best as i can tell from the description, that appears to be what we need. im really surprised that etrailers.com doesn't have that listed as well.

 

That's the first place I looked - and all they have is a 4 pin replacement. Strange indeed.

 

yea, thats why i was wondering about the 2004 trailer harness.... i would think they would be the same, BUT if they were then why wouldnt they be selling them for 2006 as well???

 

You know - maybe if you emailed them or called them and asked, they may be able to tell you the straight story!

 

Well, i emailed etrailer.com and this is the reply i got back from them. if you go to the link they provide,it actually goes to the 4 pin harness which i have already found which leads me to believe they dont have what i need, and ill probably have to order my wiring harness elswhere. However, it may be possible, they just sent me the wrong link, so i will be emailing them back just to be sure.

Thank you for your interest in etrailer.com.

The part number you would need for your 2006 For F-150 differs from the 2004. You would actually need part 40185 to convert your existing 4-pole flat connection to a 7 blade.
