• Connecting Trailer Wiring with 5 Wires to 4-Way with 4 Wires
  The wiring your trailer has is wishbone wiring for the running light circuit. So what you would need to do is run the single brown wire of your new 4-way to both of the brown wires on your trailer wiring and everything will work like it should. Basically the running light circuit runs to both sides of your trailer.

• What to to With Extra Wires When Using 4-Flat to 6-Round Adapter
  You are correct that an adapter would be needed since you have a 4-flat on your bike and 6-round on your trailer. When using that adapter, # A10-6034VP, the two wires would not be for lights on your trailer. The black wire would be to connect for a 12V power source, while the blue wire connects to the output wire on a brake controller. Those wires do not need to be used and can simply be tied up. I've attached a link to a review video on this adapter for you to take a look at.

• Can Running Light Circuit of Trailer with Two Wires Connect to Single Wire Circuit
  The type of 4-way wiring your trailer has is referred to as wishbone wiring where there's two wires for each side of the trailer's running light circuit. This easily can attach in the way you described where both wires run to a single running light circuit wire. Normally with surge brakes there's two ways to allow it to back up without the brakes locking up. You can install a reverse lock out solenoid (you may have one already) but this runs to the reverse light circuit of the vehicle...

• 4-Pole Trailer Connector Wire Color Codes
  I'm not certain what you're asking. If you're speaking of a 4-pole trailer wiring harness, the white wire is the ground connection, the brown wire carries the running light circuit, the green wire carries the right turn/brake lamp circuit and the yellow wire carries the left turn/brake lamp circuit. If that's not what you were needing, please let me know. I'll also link to some helpful articles about trailer wiring.

• Left Turn Signal on Trailer Will Not Blink but All Other Lights Work
  This sounds like a ground issue. Ground problems normally show up when there is more draw on a system such as when you have the running lights on and then use another function like a turn signal or brake light. Make sure that the vehicle side and trailer side connectors are clean and free of corrosion inside and out. The main connector grounds should be attached to clean and corrosion free bare metal surfaces. The light grounds should also be attached to clean and corrosion free bare...

• How to Determine Trailer Wiring Color Functions on a Trailer
  Your vehicle sounds like it is wired to the standard 4-way wiring color codes. The white is ground, brown is running lights, the green is right turn/stop, and the yellow is left turn/stop. The only way to know for sure what the wires of your trailer are for is to use a jumper wire to run 12 volts to each of the circuits to determine their function. Most likely the two reds are the two running light circuit wires that run to each side of the trailer, this is referred to as a wishbone circuit....

• Trailer Connector is a 4-Way Flat but has 5 Wires
  On the vehicle side connector, white is ground, brown is running lights, yellow is left turn/brake lights and green is right turn/brake lights. On the trailer side, since the black is the ground we can move on to the other wires. You likely have 2 running light wires, one for each side of the trailer. This is done so you don't have to splice in a jumper wire from one side of the trailer to the other. So the yellow wire is likely the left turn and brake light, green is likely right turn...

• Replacing 4-Pole Trailer Connector on Trailer With 7 Different Circuits Feeding It
  It sounds like you've got a pretty good handle on what you're dealing with. You're correct, the green is right turn/brake, yellow is left turn/brake, black/green is right taillight and black/yellow is left taillight. The remaining wires are almost certainly grounds. I'm guessing you're not the original owner of the trailer or the person who wired it last time. Rather than grounding each trailer lamp directly to the trailer frame by its mounting studs or individual ground wires connected...

• What Are The Functions Of Standard 4-Pole Connector Wires?
  Whenever messing with wiring, I never go by the color only by function. Ideally the wires function and the colors are correct but sometimes that is not the case. Let's assume that the trailer wires are in their standard configuration on your wiring you're asking about # A10-6034VP. White is your ground wire, that is why there is a split. There is a ground to both sides. Brown is usually your taillights, yellow is your left turn/brake and the green is your right turn/brake signal.

• Troubleshooting a 2003 Ford Ranger and Camper with Weak Trailer Brakes
  The only way your brakes would have been locking up immediately when the brakes were applied would be is if the brake light circuit was shorting out to the brake output circuit on your trailer connector. Corrosion on the connector or exposed wire can sometimes cause this. $700 is an insane price for a new brake controller and trailer wiring connector. Did the brakes begin to function again after they worked on the truck/trailer? Weak trailer brakes can be caused by brake assemblies being...

• Trailer Has 2 Wires for Running Lights but Only One Running Light Pin on Trailer Connector
  It sounds like you might have a wishbone type of wiring situation. This means that the running light circuit is split to 2 wires instead of just one for running lights on both sides of the trailer (yellow of left side, green for right side). This is so you do not have to run a jumper wire for running lights from one side of the trailer to the other. You should just have to connect the 2 running light wires together and then connect them both to the running light pin or wire. If you have...

• Wiring in New 4-Way to Trailer that Has Two White Wires
  What you'll need to do is match all of the wire colors like you mentioned and then run the single white from the new plug to the two white wires you mentioned that have a brown and green tracer wire and you'd be set. It's basically just an extra ground wire that would run to the single ground of the new plug. I also attached a link to a page that has wiring diagrams for more info for you to check out as well.

• How To Wire New Trailer Connector On Trailer with Green, Yellow, Green/Brown, Yellow/Brown Wires
  It sounds like you are trying to wire a new trailer connector on a trailer with wishbone wiring harness. It's always best to test to confirm but I am pretty confident that yellow is left stop/turn, green/brown is running light, yellow/brown is running light, green is right stop/turn, and white is ground. The wishbone wiring harnesses use two running light wires.

• Wiring Connections For Wishbone Harness To Use On Trailer Wiring
  It sounds like you have a wishbone harness. On a typical 4-way connector, you would have a yellow wire that would be for a left turn and left brake light signal, and a green wire for the right turn and right brake light signal. You would also have a single brown wire for the running lights and a white wire for the ground. A wishbone connector will have a brown/green wire for the running lights on the right side, and a yellow/brown wire for the left side running lights. you will also have...

• 4-Way Trailer Connector that has 5 Wires
  Did you have a 4-pin connector that had 5 wires or was it a 5-pin connector? There is a big difference since you normally see a 5-pin connector on a boat trailer with the 5th pin used for an electric reverse lockout solenoid on a brake actuating coupler. If it was a 4-pin connector with 5 wires then it is called a wishbone harness and would have 2 wires attached to the running light pin so you have one wire for each side of the trailer. Typically, on a 4-Way, the white wire is ground,...

• How Does Trailer Running Light Circuits with Yellow/Brown and Green/Brown Wires Run to New 4-Way
  The yellow/brown and green/brown wires are the running light circuit on the trailer. The new 4-way that has a single brown wire can still be used but you will need to run both wires of the trailer to single brown wire on the 4-way. This is a very common way to wire up a trailer and it will work great for you. If this configuration isn't working you will need to determine if the voltage is on the brown wire of your trailer when the running lights are on or not. If so, and still not working...

• Adapter 4 Pole to 6 Pole # A10-6034VP Recommendation and Wiring
  It sounds like your trailer has a 6-way round connector and your truck has a 4-way flat connector. You could use an Adapter 4 Pole to 6 Pole, part # A10-6034VP, like what you referenced. If all you needed was tail light functions on your trailer you would simply mount the 6-way round of this adapter on your vehicle and secure the other wires up and out of the way, and then plug the 4-way from your truck into the 4-way of this adapter and then plug your trailer into the 6-way and you would...

• How to Install a Wishbone Wired 4-Way to a Trailers Wiring
  To wire the 4-way connector you have to your trailer you will need to ground the white wire, run either brown wire to the left or right side running light circuits, run the yellow wire to the left stop/turn circuit, and the green/brown wire to the right stop turn circuit. It could be that your trailer's wiring needs to be cleaned up a bit. You will want to check and make sure all of the wire colors I mentioned only activate the circuits I said they correspond to. If not, then there might...

• Installing 4-Way Flat Connector on Trailer with 3 Wires
  If your trailer is wired for both brake/turn signals and running lights, I'm wondering if the two multi-color wires you found (the green/brown and yellow/brown) are actually each 2 wires sealed together and they simply need to be pulled apart. If this is the case, then you actually have what is called a wishbone harness on your trailer, which uses a separate brown running light wire for each side of the trailer, along with the green wire for right side turn/brake and the yellow wire for...

• How to Wire Trailer with 4-Way and 5 Wires to Replacement 4-Way with Only 4 Wires
  Basically you would wire the colors white, yellow, and green color for color and then wire the brown green and brown yellow to the brown of the new plug and you'd be set. Wishbone 4-ways basically just split the signal for both sides of the trailer whereas standard 4-way just have the one wire that you'd then run to both sides.

• How To Install 4-way Connector On Trailer That Has Non-Standard Wire Colors
  I would be happy to help! Since your trailer has wires that are not the standard colors you will need to identify the functions of each wire before installing the new 4-way flat connector. The two ways to do this is by tracing each wire back to the light it goes to, or by finding which wire is the ground and then testing the other 3 wires with a 12v battery. You would hook the ground wire to the negative terminal of the battery and then each of the other 3 wires to the positive battery...
