electric brakes

Hey guys.. im getting the hang of this!! haha.. Anway we have completely rewired 5 of our trailers.. The one I am having probs wit now, is a 23' with brakes. I have the controller set in the truck, and all new lights and signals work. My question is, comming from the two drums which are set with brakes, there are two wires sticking out. I know one is the power for the brakes, and the other is the ground. Problem is, they are both the same color. Is there a way which I can tell which is which without taking everything apart? the wires are hard to get to, so I dont want to climb under the trailer and just keep doing trial and error. Thanks!

Thanks for the reply... I am just trying to avoid having to get under this trailer and try to connect these wires, then have them not work and try it again.
