96 Trailer Wiring Question

[Adventurer_96]

My 1996 has a hitch but the trailer wiring connector was cut off at some point.

I've got five wires, white/black/green/light green/orange if I remember, and I've got a 4/7 dual connector to wire.

Is this a standard wire group for the trailer? Or, do I have to go through and test each one.

Would it be lights, brake, turn? What else?

Thanks...

White Wire = Ground
Brown Wire = tail and park lights
Yellow Wire = Left turn
Green Wire = Right Turn
Red wire is for Auiliary Trailer wiring stuff.
Blue Wire = Electric brakes

But always check them with a test light or volt/ohm meter.

And be sure to seal all connections and tie in's with a sealer to keep moisture out.

Best to solder wiring splices.
The quick connectors or butt connectors trap moisture and damage wiring and cause major headaces.
Good Luck

To add to MT2500 description:

RED wire is battery power.
Lt Green wire is back-up lamp power.

Thanks for the replies, gents. I found out I've got to wire the truck for a brake controller so I just had a local shop wire for the controller and install this connector.

Change one... I'll be doing the wiring myself since the shop's prices are over the top and I don't trust them to do it right.

I bought a brake controller today from Wally World and the extra wire to hook it up, as well as a soldering iron and heat shrink, but it looks like the boy threw the whole bag in the trash.

Back to square 1...
