Trailer alarm on 2019
New to the group and like what I am seeing.
I am having a problem with the trailer alarm on my 2019 f150 Plat. Alarms come and go showing that my trailer is connected and then the trailer is disconnected.
I tried to search for this but nothing comes up.
Has anyone else had this problem? I just got the truck (used) a few weeks ago and hate taking it to the dealership.
Thanks in advance for any and all help.

Welcome to the forum. I have had this happen to me and what I have found is the trailer receptacle ( 7 pin) is upside down. If you look at all of the receptacles that are out there the spring cover is on the bottom and that supports the trailer plug. on the the 2019 the spring cover is on top and don't support the trailer plug. So as you go down the road it falls down and causes that warning on the dash. I have been using a short bunge cord and hooking it to the bumper under the tailgate and rap it around the trailer connection and back to the bumper, that seems to hold it up in place. I have also been looking and wondering if someone could just pull the receptacle out of the bumper and turn it over it look like it should be able to do that. however I haven't taken the time to really look into it.
I hope this info helps you .
