Wiring a 4-Way connector on a 2006 Mitsubishi Raider

Expert Reply:

The tail light wiring colors for your truck could be any color, manufacturers change wiring colors for many different reasons and often within the same model year. To determine the correct wires to use on your vehicle you will need to use a circuit tester, item # 3808 if needed, and test the wires behind the vehicle tail lights. On the drivers side you should be able to find a wire that carries the left turn/brake signal and a wire that carries the running light circuit. Connect the left/brake wire to the yellow wire on the trailer connector and the running light wire to the brown wire on the trailer connector. Next go to the passengers side and find the right turn/brake signal, connect this wire to the green wire on the trailer connector. Finally connect the white wire to a good ground point on the vehicle.

You can hard wire your vehicle because it does not require a converter, but it would be easier to use a T-One Vehicle Wiring Harness, item # 118323, to install a 4-Way connector at the rear of your vehicle. This connector just plugs inline with your vehicles tail light wiring and does not require splicing into the vehicles wiring.
