Combined four way and seven way connector assembly for use with a vehicle and for accommodating a trailer tow package

A combined four way and seven way connector assembly for communicating a towing vehicle's electrical system with either a four way or seven way input harness associated with a towed vehicle, the towing vehicle further including a wire harness supplying an output of the electrical system, said connector assembly comprising:

• a three dimensional housing including a top and a plurality of interconnected sides;
• a circuit board supporting a plurality of electrical circuits and which is contained within said housing;
• a first plurality of terminals defining a four way connector and a second plurality of terminals defining a seven way connector, each of said first and second pluralities of terminals including metal frets and which communicate with a selected number of said plurality of circuits, said first and second pluralities of terminals defining first and second input plugs accessible through said housing by the towed vehicle input harness;
• and
• an integral input connector accessible through said housing and with said circuit board, said input connector electrically communicating the towing vehicle's electrical supply wire harness to said plurality of circuits.
