Question:
I needed to replace my 4 flat wire connector on my trailer but when I cut the connector off I had 1 green 1 yellow 3 whites and 3 browns I can not find a harness anywhere for this I have a new 4 flat connector but it only has 1 green and 1 yellow 1 brown and 1 white I guess what Im asking is can I connect 3 wires to 1 white and 3 browns to 1 brown?

Expert Reply:
If the trailer has a 4-way flat connector then that means there are only three lighting circuits, left stop/turn, right stop/turn, and running lights. The left stop/turn is usually a yellow wire, the right stop/turn is usually green, and the running lights are usually brown. If you have multiples of any color at the connector then that just means the wires weren't combined mid-way and you would just need to do so at the connector. I recommend the Hopkins Endurance Easy-Pull Harness part # HM38134 and Heat Shrink Butt Connectors part # DW05745-5.
