wire HarneSS ConneCtor  

• Your trailer is equipped with a plug-in receptacle on the 

trailer  tongue  (FIG.  1)  to  keep  the  electrical  connector 

protected when not in use, as shown.

• To ensure trouble-free use, periodically inspect end plug for 

tight, corrosion-free contact and apply electrical grease as 

necessary to prevent future corrosion.

The wiring diagram below provides the information needed 

for wiring the towing vehicle harness/connector. It is 

important that the proper connections be made and that the 

system is tested before using your trailer.

White - Grounds all lights
Brown - Front & rear marker lights

              & tail lights

Yellow - Left turn/brake light
Green - Right turn/brake light

Lights must be properly connected to the tow vehicle and 

checked prior to each trailer use. Do not use trailer on 

any public road without all lights functioning properly. 

Malfunctioning lights fail to give other motorists proper 

notification of your actions and location which can cause a 

serious or fatal accident.

warning

Make sure the wiring harness for the lighting system is 

long enough so that it is does not become unplugged when 

turning sharp corners. Disconnected lights can cause a 

serious or fatal accident.
