    5 pole Tee connector for truck

    Hi folks,
    I was wondering if anyone new where I can get a five pole T connector for my F150. My boat trailer has surge brakes and an electric solenoid to release the brakes when backing up. This a new to me truck and I was looking to see if they even make one. My old truck had a 4 pole T connector which worked the lights fine. But I had to tap into the reverse light circuit at the tail light and have a separate wire to connect to the solenoid . So I was looking for a 5 pole T connector so I wouldn't have to tap into the reverse light wire. Instead I was hoping that they made a 5 pole TEE connector that would have a 5th pole to activate the solenoid when the back up light come on.

    Sorry for such a long post , I was trying to make it as clear as I can

    Thanks
    Keith

    Keith, any good RV shop or even Wal-mart should have what you need. If you allready have a 7 pin connector from the factory, you can get the 7-5 pin adapter anywhere.

    Make sure you have the relay installed under the hood on the drivers side fuse box for the reverse light or power. Ford never installed this relay from the factory and sometime they put the relay in the glove box for safe keeping and it goes under the hood in that fuse box. If it is not in the there, you can get it from any Auto Parts Store or Dealer.
