If you haven't purchased the plugs yet. The wire color codes should be included in the package.

  • If you are using used plugs ck the back of the plugs for color or function of wire
  • Wht - ground
  • red - stop
  • blue - accessory/aux
  • brown - tail
  • black - Marker
  • grn - left turn
  • yellow - right turn

SOURCE: Wiring diagram

If you are going from a 4 pin on your trailer to the 7 pin on the truck. You need to go to parts store or a department store (ex Wal Mart) and look in trailer section and find the adapter. Thats what I did. Also Remember if your lights don't work on trailer, check the plug to make sure its tight or check the fuse under your drivers side rear seat for that fuse box.

SOURCE: Tow bar trailer socket wiring connection point to car wiring?

The connectors for towing wire harnesses on foresters are generally on the passenger side, below the rear taillight inside the cargo space. some require pulling up the foam block that is between the spare tire compartment and the taillight. Check where you replace the tailights from inside the car, if there isn't a matching connector hanging out there, check around the spare tire compartment, see if you can remove the carpeted foam block next to the compartment and find the plug under there.

2005 TOYOTA COROLLA WANT TO WIRE UP THE SEVEN PIN TRAILER PLUG TO MY TOYOTA 2.0 D4D LITRE COROLLA

the secret here is to buy a trailer harness for the vehicle ( available from most tow bar supply and fitting shops )
it is a set that just plugs into the existing harness at the rear light assembly ( piggy back arrangement)
from there you wire the male and female plugs as per the color code that is on the paper that comes with the units
saves cutting into the car harness and causing real electrical problems

Suzuki alto (2011) 7 pin trailer wiring, wires don't match the colours in the instructions

iam colour blind red/green and i suspect you are too as a lot of males are and most dont even know it ,Anyway simple way out of this is to use one of them electrical 12v test screwdriver or a multimeter like i have to ,never trust colour on wires on a motor vehicle as they use any colour in the looms depending on what been used up and what stock is available ,the assembly line cannot be held up because the colour of the wire is different .

I have a 1997 Tahoe 350 4wd. I just need the wiring diagram for the trailer hitch. The wires are there but there is no connectors. I have also found the orange and blue wire for doing the electric...

please dont ask me iam colour blind ,but to overcome this i use a multimeter or a little light and test for current this way ,going by the so called wiring colours is a disaster for me not only the colour thing but the wireing can change colours owing to different suppliers of looms in manufacture ,they run out of one colour and use another ?? you name it i think i have seen it

Problems with bosal towbar wiring kit....

Color of wires

Hi Red, Sorry to tell you this pal, but the Toyota's we have worked on do not have a colour coding format for most of the wiring loom. A cable which is loomed from the speed sensor can be one colour going in and another colour coming out because Toyota join cables of any colour, presumably for cost effectiveness. The cable can be identified from the pin number inside the management computer, or by downloading a pin out diagram from <www.allpinouts.com> Regards John.

I need the wiring colour coding for the rear lights of a 2000 v40d as im fitting towbar electrics

Your post:
Hi There.
here are the 7 cable locations and pin numbers.
Pin 1 Yellow L/H Direction Indicator
Pin 2 Blue Rear Fog Lamps
Pin 3 White Earth Return
Pin 4 Green R/H Direction Indicator
Pin 5 Brown R/H Tail & No, Plate Light
Pin 6 Red Stop Lamps
Pin 7 Black L/H Tail & No, Plate Lights

I found the easiest way to locate the correct wires in the loom is to turn on the lights required and use a circuit tester and splice into the main loom where you have enough wire to play with. Try not to cut the loom as it only causes more problems with bad connections and joins.
Good Luck

Need to wire tow bar into 1999 LT35

Hi ebrown80
You can splice into each wire in turn at the back of the lamps.No need to cut right through the origional loom completly. For a really good joint you should spot solder each connection and insulate all joints well. Tow bar sockets operate on a common earth, so no need to loop each one.
Check back of socket and you will find each pin has a number. 1---7
The wiring colours from the socket back to the loom are as follows
No 1 Pin--- Yellow Wire---Left Side Flasher
No 2 Pin--- Blue Wire------Fog Lamp.
No 3 Pin--- White Wire--- Earth. Must have good contact or nothing else will operate.
No 4 Pin----Green Wire--- Right Side Flasher.
No 5 Pin----Brown Wire---- Left Side Park Light
No 6 Pin----Red Wire-------Brake Lights
No 7 Pin----Black Wire----Right Side Park Light. Centre Pin.
I hope this helps you out
Best of Luck with it
John
