How to Replace 7-Way Trailer Connector Plug 2000-06 Chevy Tahoe

Disconnect this connector right here and just push this little tab down, and just wiggle it back and forth. And then I'm gonna twist this. There's a little tab right here, that, if you get a 90-degree pick, you can break that off or just try to pry it up a little bit. There is a little bump right here that you might have to pry up a little bit on this ear. You can use some large pliers, just try to twist it that way. There we go, and slide it out.

And take the new connector. Now this one fits a little different. This one actually has holes where you can drill, line that up how you want it. Just take a felt tip pen, and make a mark where you want to drill the holes. And you can take a small drill bit and start with a pilot hole, and you always work your way up.
And just do the same for the other ones. So, when you get two holes drilled or four holes, if you want to put bolts in all four holes, get those lined up. Now, these holes are a little bit smaller than 1/4 of an inch. And a nut. Do the same on this other one. And then tighten those up. Now the size of the bolts is going to change, based on what size bolts that you get to do this.

And we just snug those up, not too tight. Gonna take the connector. Now, it does go on one way. There's a little notch right here, and a little tab right there. So, line those up, or even with the lock for the connector, line it up and lock it in place.
