Help on replace 7pin socket

[ytwytw]

I got F150 Lightning but i assume its the same for gas F150

My 7pin socket has terrible corrosion and of course nothing plug in works

Tried wd40 contact cleaner and did not help

wondering how easy to replace the socket and what part number is so that I can order at dealer
if there are third party option, it would be also great as i hope third party option has better seal so water wont get in easily

the truck is still under warranty, but I'm told it is considered as consumable and cannot be replaced for free.

thanks

Consumable my ass.

I had the very occasional flash of an onscreen trailer error, and reported it last time into the dealership for routine. They flagged it as a 7/4 socket replace, to my surprise, ordered the part and installed it under bumper-to-bumper.

It's unbelievable the lies dealers tell their customers pre and post sale. Tell the SM. If no satisfaction, the GM, Owner and Ford.

When you get a good clean socket, don't go near it with WD40 - use this instead

AGS Dielectric Connector Protector 0.14oz (autozone.com)

Lotsa brands widely available (e.g. Walmart), comes in tubes, too, but a little goes a long way so you don't need much.

switched to a different dealer, and they claimed my hardwired dashcam cause the brake controller to malfunction.

they attempted to charge me 1.2h labour for charging my low 12v and of course dealer requires education

which dealer was this? call them out so others don't have to deal with this BS and find a new one
for the record formula ford and fraser ford have been fantastic to work with
