Question:

I saw your previous answer to a similar question but mine is slightly different. I also have a snowbear trailer 2008 where the connector has broken off. I have a new car but bought an LED tester anyway and everything on the car end is working with a 4-flat plug. the trailer wiring has one white, one green, one yellow, one yellow/brown, and one brown/green. i can see the yellow and yellow/brown wire both run to the left light. the green and green brown wire both run to the right light. i think

It sounds like you have a wishbone wiring harness on your 2008 Snowbear Trailer. Generally speaking, the green wires is for the right turn/stop light, the yellow wire is for the left turn/stop light, the brown/yellow and brown/green wire are for the running lights, and the white wire is for the ground. All you need to do to install a standard 4-way trailer connector like what you have pictured is just join the brown/yellow and brown/green wire together and everything should work.

If it does not then it will be best to test for function with a circuit tester. In order to check this all you need to do is start the vehicle, plug the trailer connector in, and test each of the wires while the corresponding signal is activated.

I have attached a help article for you as well.
