What are the Correct Wiring Connections Between the Trailer and the Tow Vehicle
Updated 05/22/2017 | Published 05/19/2017
Question:
I need a diagram of how the plug is wired to make sure that it is wired the same as my tow vehicle. I am specifically concerned to match up the heavier gauge wires for power, ground and brakes. Thanks

I have attached a wiring diagram that will show the typical arrangement of the towing wiring on your vehicle and the corresponding wires on the trailer side.
The basic wiring identification is as follows:
Green - Tail & Running Light
Black - 12V Power
Brown - Right Turn and Stop
Blue - Brake Control Output
White - Ground
Red - Left Turn and Stop
Yellow - Reverse Lights
I also attached an article on trailer wiring that can give you more info for you to review.
