All colors will hook up the same, however that last wire probably blue, will not go to anything, that is for trailer brakes, if your vehicle isn't equiped with a controller then dont' worry about it, other wise you can always buy adapters from just about anywhere even home depot or walmart

The 4 prong plug will have 5 wires attached to it.
The white wire is the ground and is attached to the trailer frame near the front. There will be two brown wires and one goes down each side of the trailer. These wires will have a connection at the side marker lights near the front of the fenders. They will then continue to the tail lights. The light bar in the center is also connected to the brown wire.
The yellow wire at the plug is for the left stoplight and the green is for the right stoplight. One of the wires out of the taillights will be brown and the other wire will not match the color of the harness wire.

My truck has a 4 wire plug plugging into a 4 plug with 5 wires to trailer. how do you wire trailer wires to adapt to plug that plugs into the plug with 4 wires

If the trailer has electric brakes that are powered by a separate battery, you use a 4-pole to 5-pole adapter and connect the extra wire to the truck backup light circuit.

I have a standard 4 flat trailer plug on my truck but my trailer plug is also a 4 flat plug but has two brown wires going to one prong. how do i hook them together to make all my lights on trailer work

The 4-wire flat plugs usually have a white (ground), green (right brake/turn) yellow (left brake/turn) and brown (taillights - left and right). If your brake and turn lights work but the taillights don't, check the plugs (trailer and truck sides) for corrosion, and chek both the trailer and truck wiring harnesses for chafed insulation and bare conductors on the brown wires. Likewiae if the taillights work and the brake/turn lights don't, perform the same checks on those wires. And last but not least, be sure that the white wires (truck and trailer) are grounded well to the truck body and trailer frame.

I would like to know the color code of the wires to the rear lights to hook up trailer wires. Tailights, break lights, left and right turn signals

brake lights, white/tan stripe
tail lights, black/yellow stripe
left turn, light green
right turn, tan
ground, black

Note that your car has separate filaments for brakes and turns, so you cannot use the standard 4-prong trailer connector and will need an extra filament in your trailer lights.
Please let me know if you have questions, and thanks for using FixYa.

I have a 1999 F250 Super Duty Lariat Super Cab 7.3L diesel.The wiring for the tow hitch is 4 prong flat with 3 extra wires.What was included from the factory and\r\nwhat do I need to pul camper with rv...

With 4 prong and 3 extra, that will give you what you need for 7 prong for towing RV. If your not too experienced in that area, a mechanic at any trailer place, or hitch installation place or who knows RV wiring, should be able to do it for you in about 1/2 hr. or less. Testing the wires from your truck for what they do as in right , left, stop, running/taillights, etc is about the hardest part, and the 7 prong usually comes with what terminal does what.48e2ffb.jpg

I need to know how to wire my Blazer to be able to hook up a trailer to it. Any suggestions?

Check to see if there is an extra wiring plug, somewhere hanging up
under the rear bumper. If there is, you will not have a hard time hooking
up a trailer.

I'm trying to hook up a trailer hitch and need to hook up tail lights to trailer

you may or may not have a trailering wire harness. look for an extra set of wires underneath the middle of the rear bumper (have a peek around the spare, too). this should have a flat plug on it that looks like it belongs on a videogame controller plug. some models also have a covered socket you should look for. if there doesn't appear to be one, you may have to have a professional or a knowledgeable friend put one in.
