Running board connector adapter
I have a 2013 Ford F-250 king ranch 6.7 diesel. I just installed running boards with lights on it from a 2006 king ranch. My truck is prewired for running boards. Unfortunately the connector from the running boards doesn't match my prewired connector. I have gone to autozone and Ford dealership to buy an adapter but Ford said they don't make a adapter or the connector for a 2013 model. I would be fine just Hard wiring the new connector to the running boards but i don't know where to buy the correct connector since Ford or parts house doesn't carry it. Any thoughts of where I could buy 2 connectors? Thanks guys

Look through this link and see if you can find the connector.

You can thank AZLugz for this. It is labeled as a speaker connector.

FYI on the Amazon speaker connector. It works fine, but it's an "interior" connector and it doesn't have any sealing gaskets, so moisture/road salt will get inside of it. You will need to put liberal amounts of Di-Electric Grease on the pins to repel moisture and prevent corrosion.
When I built up my harness for the running board lights, I shrink-tubed the back of the connector to block moisture from entering, Once it was plugged into the OEM Ford connector, I wrapped the whole connection like a mummy with electrical tape.

No, mine was on the frame, outboard side at the back of the cab just forward of the cab mount.

Thanks, I'll have a look, though I wonder if they may have only been on crew cabs? Mine is Ex cab.

I think it is more based on the options on the truck, mine is a platinum and I think the other guys was a lariat, I know one guy that has an XL and said he did not have the plugs. Yours being a KR I would assume they are there. The plugs had caps on them on mine that had to be removed.
