trailer lights
ok so a friend give me a 3 light bar (came off a dually)( goes above tag) and i was gonna put it on tomorrow. now just a min ago i went out and looked under and on my towing package i got the regular plug deal..s. and then i got like 5 or 6 wires taped together with a white sticker that says stuff like trailor brakes, right brake, left brake, and stuff. THEN theres one lone white wire that is joined to a green wire about 5 inches long which is plugged into a connector! sorry if its too much but i was wonderin if that 1 lone white wire is a ground? and if i could tap into those 5 or 6 that arn't hooked to anything oh i think if im not wrong they run up to the driver side of engine compartment.. whew that a bunch of stuff aint it... well my bad but i would appreciate some help

The white wire is usually the ground. The wires in the 6 way bundle probably won't work unless you have the relays installed under the hood. The trailer tow package comes with a pigtail for a brake box and the 2 relays that need to be installed under the hood to activate the wiring.
A test light would tell you for sure. The yellow & green wires are the turn signals, the white a ground, and the brown the running lights. The turn and running lights together make up the brake signal.

As I was saying, spend a minute with a test light and you'll be good to go.
