Does anyone know where I can source this connector? The PO cobbled the plug into the wiring before the connector and it now is corroded inside the plastic. I have a new male connector but am now in need of this female one. The truck is a 2000 F250.

 

There is a catalog of all Ford connectors but I have never used it to order anything. My source for all electrical connectors on older Fords is the self serve junkyard. You should find that connector was used for multiple model years and maybe multiple models

 

See if you can find any identifying numbers or lettering on the connector, then do a search on this web site using those. https://www.mouser.com/

 

I found some worn off numbers. My searches return nothing. I have a brand new trailer plug with the correct opposing connector. I could cut the new one off and direct wire it. I just preferred to keep the factory setup in place to make it easier if I have to take things apart again.

 

It you are wanting to replace the plug to 7 pin connector.... ETrailer has the entire assembly as of last year when I replace mine.

I never could find the right pigtail while searching through ford catalog. I ended up buying a generic towing harness off etrailer that had the correct pigtail, cut it off and soldered to the trucks harness. Zero problems.

 

While the male half of that connection ensemble is readily available and is included with the YC3Z-13A576-CA trailer towing sub-harness, the female half of that connection ensemble is part of the vehicle frame harness 14405, and is not listed in the Motorcraft pigtail catalog at all.

The Excursion also uses the same connector ensemble, which Ford designates as Connector C407 in the location that you are trying to repair.

The same 12 cavity (4 larger gauge, 8 smaller gauge) connector is also utilized inside the cab, behind the kick panel at the front passenger side foot well on the right hand side of the vehicle, which Ford designates as Connector C233.

You would be looking for C407F or C233F, to obtain the socket half of the connector, rather than the pin half.

Neither type is shown in the Motorcraft catalog.

Unlike GM, which provides the Packard / Delphi connector housing, pin, socket, TPA, and CPA part numbers in their wiring diagrams... Ford does not identify the supplier or part number to connector shells in the factory service manual or wiring diagrams for the 2000 model year.

I checked one OEM supplier that Ford has used in the past, and struck out finding this particular connector.

However, I didn't give up on your behalf, and like FordCowboy suggested, I did find where you can buy both the male and female halves of this connector, with trailing leads already fitted, so that you don't have to split apart the connector and muck around with crimping wires onto sockets and inserting them. It's all done for you. You need but blunt cut the trailing wires, and butt splice them onto your existing 14405 frame harness.

It comes with a trailer socket and some extra wire as well, but it does have the female frame wiring socket you are looking for.
