Hey I am a new t1n owner I would love that PDF and the part number as trying to get everything right before next year's travels I had been planning on the 7 blade modual but search the forums for most my questionsHi Brian:
"I have a 2006 140 " wheelbase 10 passenger van with a rear step bumper."
2006 Sprinters are all of the T1N variety!
'02-'06 Sprinters are all T1N...... all flavors 2500-3500-Cab & Chassis.
'07-'11 Sprinters are all NCV3!
The newer NCV3 looks entirely different!
"It has the optional transmission cooler but does not have the wiring for a tow package. I do not know if it is a NCV3 or a T1N. It is a 2500. I was surprised to see double leaves in the back. I thought all 2500 had a single leaf."
"Which model is it?"
T1N definitely!
"Advice for a 4 prong trailer plug for tail lights and signal lights. Dealer is 3 hours away from me. Advice?"
I suggest getting the 7 way factory harness and the factory hitch receiver.
I can send you a .pdf file that illustrates the entire installation of the '06 7 pin OEM factory wiring harness with
lots of pictures.
Why install the 7 pin system when you only need a 4 pin system?
It's very easy to put a 7 to 4 pin adapter on the factory 7 way harness. (< $10 at your local auto parts store.)
If you do not install an electric brake controller, but put the additional #10 AWG wire in the bundle when you
install the factory 7 pin harness you can always add the brake controller and simply connect the additonal wires
electric brakes require at some later date.
The factory '06 T1N Sprinter is completely plug and play except for one blk/wht wire that needs to be soldered to the
blk/wht wire that feeds into the LH stop light/turn signal.
It's far easier to install the whole package that has been engineered for your vehicle and then use only the features
(stop lights... turn signals...tail and marker lights) you need right now, but retain the ability to upgrade to the full
7 pin system if you ever need it.
If you install a simple 4 pin harness now, you would probably need to rip it out in order to upgrade to the 7 pin OEM
factory engineered wiring harness.
If you can make one good solder connection (the instructions show you how and where) you can install the 7 pin
factory system yourself. No dealer is required.
Hope this helps,
Roger
