Expert Reply:

It sounds like you have something similar to a wishbone wiring harness with 2 running light circuits and then also 2 ground circuits. To replace this, I recommend the Hopkins Endurance Quick-Fix Replacement 4-Way Flat Trailer Connector w LED Test Lights # HM48192 where you will simply match the current wires to the correct terminal for function.

If you want to splice them together prior to the connection, I recommend the Hopkins Endurance 4-Way Flat Trailer Connector - Trailer End - Ergonomic Design # HM48110 along with heat shrink butt connectors # DW05744-10.
