Factory trailer wiring plug

Anybody know the part number for this? My factory plug has been way botched by the PO- cheap 7-way plug with a 6-way spliced into it, broken wires, etc. I like the fact that the factory unit is 7-way/4-way and the aftermarket ones I've seen are either junk or don't have the 7-way/4-way.

I dont, but have bought them for 99 superdutys at work. Just tell them you want the factory tailer towing wiring harness for an 02 superduty that has 7 and 4 way, they shouldnt have a problem. I think it ran 140 but thats with an account.

$140 for the trailer wiring??!? An aftermarket one is sounding better and better!

Chase. Is you're wiring screwed up or just the plug? My truck came with the 7 way plug and a 4 way plug that were just in the same bracket. I removed my 7 way to install the 6 way. I just tucked the 4 way up under the back bumper. If you're just wanting the plug and bracket I'll go dig around in the barn and see if I can find my old one.

Well, I need both the plug and the wiring. If you find yours that would be great, if I spent a few minutes monkeying with the wiring I could probably get it patched up satisfactorilly (is that a word???) But I hate having splices/wires open to corrosion underneath.

$25 at Wal Mart for a Hopkins that looks as good as factory and has the 7 round and 4 flat in on plug. It is a plug an go. Plugs right into the factory harness.

The Walmart nearest here (2 hours away) had one of those but it didn't have the right plug on the end- it was round instead of square-ish.

My factory plug broke off. I just put a 7 pin w/ a bracket on from the local auto parts store. The ford one was way too much money. If you have a six pin and want to keep it just move it up to the license plate light whole, thats where my six pin is at.

See how the plug is round? The plug on my truck is not round, more like a rectangle with round corners.

I did find a (round looking) 7 way plug in the barn if you still want it Chase. It's unused since all of my trailers are 6 way. I haven't found the mounting bracket yet, so there's only a 50/50 chance on that. PM me if you still want it, or want photos of it.
