How do you remove a Ford trailer plug?

Removing a Ford Trailer Plug
To remove a Ford trailer plug, you will need to follow a few steps. Here’s a guide on how to do it:
1. Identify the locking mechanism: Look for a white plastic piece in the shape of a U on the trailer connector. This is the locking mechanism that holds the plug in place.
2. Unlock the connector: To unlock the back section of the stock Ford 7-pin trailer connector, you need to pull the white plastic piece away from the harness. This will release it from the rest of the 7-way connector.
3. Remove the plug: Once the locking mechanism is released, you can simply pull the plug out of the bracket.
It’s important to note that you should avoid pulling on the wires themselves, as this might cause a loose connection in the wiring.
If you’re looking to clean the brass prongs in your Ford truck trailer connector for a good electrical connection, you can use electronics cleaner, scotch brite pads, or emory cloth to remove corrosion. Loosen the set screw on the 7-way plug to allow it to come out of the recess for easier cleaning.
Remember to exercise caution and follow safety guidelines when working with electrical connections.
