My thought is the left turn/brake wire was shorting out on 1 of the NSS wires sending power to the S lug on the solenoid.


If you did not want to hit the JY 2-6 pin connectors in the above like would work. https://www.etrailer.com/Wiring/Hopkins/37995.html
Also any you get from the JY may be just as bad that 6 pin looks like someone cares when doing the work on the truck.
2-6 pins is how I would roll, little solder and heat shrink and call it done.

ps: Etrailer is easy to work with as I have gotten parts from them.
