Trailer plug wiring
Posted: Mon Sep 15, 2014 6:43 pm
Took the truck and Sutter trailer camping this weekend. Like an idiot I disconnected the trailer and moved it without disconnecting the trailer plug. All of the wires came out of the plug and I have them all back in except for a white wire that goes to those small bulbs which I'm assuming are blackout bulbs, but I'm not sure.
Here's what I have
#1 pin to yellow and green LH brake/turn
#2 pin nothing
#3 pin to black wire ground
#4 pin to red wire RH brake/turn
#5 nothing
#6 nothing
Center pin to running lights
Don't know where to attach that stinking white wire. I originally put it in #5 and the small lamps lit up when the light switch was on,but then number two breaker popped. I disconnected it and reset the breaker. Everything worked again except those small bulbs. I guess I could just leave it alone but I would really like to fix it right. Any help would be appreciated. I have searched and read every related post and it seems that the fifth wire is somewhat of an anomaly. Thanks in advance for the help.
