I got a neat little trailer yesterday, went straight to O' Reilly's, and bought a matching 4 pin/flat connector...

I THOUGHT it was going to be straightforward....But No.....

I can get either stop lamps and NO turnsignals....OR .....Turn signals and NO stop lamps....And I REALLY need both....

The tail lights on the trailer, has the standard 4'' lenses, and a have a smaller, 2" x 2" lens on the outer side....

The stoplamps have 3 wires in them-
White-Ground-It's already grounded to the trailer frame
Gray
Brown/Grayish

and the smaller lenses have just a single gray wire from it (It is on a common ground plate with the stop lamps)...

My question is, on the 4 pin connector (Trailer side) it has the following color coded wires

Black-Ground
Black w/ Green Stripe-Right Turn Signal
Black w/ Yellow Stripe-Left Turn Signal
Brown-Stop lamps

Do I wire the brown (Stoplamps) wire to each of the turn signal wires? Or will that short the system out?


All help is greatly appreciated....Reps WILL be sent for this.....

Brown is the Marker lamps (running lights), not stop lights.
The turn wires are also the stop lamp wires.

 

I stand corrected....Will they function like the regular taillamps o a truck? Marker/Brakes/Turnsignals?

Thats what i am looking to get accomplished.....Is that how they are supposed to function?

 

Yes it is.
Do you need a diagram?

Here is one:

depending on your hitch type and trailer connector (assumeing standered 4 pin trailer) and your truck if its an RV hook up will either be a 6 pin or 7 pin (mine is 6 pin) you could go to your local Uhaul place and get the proper adapter for your hitch/trailer as I had a similar issue where I need to go from 6pin RV to 4 pin trailer.

 

Thanks for the diagram Bill....

I actually googled it, and now its fixed....
