96 F-150 trailer plug schematic needed

Hey y'all, hope everyone's enjoying their Saturday night! I just rented a new-to-me house a couple weeks ago and want to bring my boat home but my trailer plug is AFU (all f'd up) at the moment and I'm not quite sure what to make of it. Seems to be a ground issue but I can't do much without schematics because the turn signals on the truck work just fine. Truck is wired for a 7 pin but does not have a brake controller installed at the moment nor do I need one for this trailer.

So if someone could please provide me with the schematics for a 7 pin trailer connector I'd sure appreciate it! I already have the schematics for the turn signals on the truck due to an earlier problem that I've since fixed, but they don't show the trailer wiring.

Thanks!!

Thanks Mike but that ain't what I needed. I should have been more clear. What I need is the schematics showing the wiring from the trailer connector to the chassis. I'm not sure if the schematic below, which I requested a few weeks ago, is the only one showing anything to do with turn signals or not.

It shows several circuits terminating with the note "Supplied By Body Builder" which would be Ford in my case since I have a regular pickup. It does not show any wiring specifically going to the trailer connector nor does it show some of the dedicated circuits that feed it such as the trailer battery charge circuit or the ground circuit. A schematic showing those things along with the turn signal circuits to the trailer connector is what I am after. I'm pretty sure it would exist somewhere in a factory manual.

My 96 150 4pin connector to my trailer and my signals don't work and indicates a ground fault hours spent looking and fiddling, but if I connect trailer to my 15 F250 4pin all lights and signals work properly, what gives?

Chances are you have no ground connection through the connector in your F-150.
