[QUOTE="simikilr, post: 455552, member: 24750"] If you're wanting to wire your plug into your harness I can help with that. Something to keep in mind is trailer wire colors and vehicle wire colors are NOT the same. Even different makes and model vehicles use different color wires, which is quite aggravating. Trailers colors are as follows: White=ground Brown=power (running lights) Yellow=left turn Green=right turn Blue=back up lights Now are short white and blue wires, those go to the brake actuator to keep the brakes from locking up while backing up. If you have an electric brake or hydro/electric brake system things more complicated and colors start crossing. That being said, I wired my plug into my tail lights. On the left tail light I did the yellow (LT) onto the white with green stripe. Brown (pwr) goes to white with orange stripe. White goes to black (seems backwards but haven't had any issues). On the right tail light I believe it was the white with purple stripe is green (RT). And the back ups.. honestly I forgot. I can take a look if you need me to. Hope this helps.
