Question:

I bought the cable to plug directly in to OEM trailer plug, when I went to install I found out someone had cut the OEM connector off. Can I get the OEM plug and at what cost? If not, what is the color scheme to hook to flat 4 pin connector. I would prefer to put back on the OEM plug to restore to original. Thank you very much

Expert Reply:

Without the connector there it would be very hard to determine what each wire does, we do not have a wiring schematic available so your best option would be to use a circuit tester like our part # PTW2993 and test the wires individually for function while someone applies the tail light functions of your tow vehicle. Check out the video I attached to get an idea of how this would be done.

You would then need to run those wires by function to the 4-way.

I attached an FAQ article on trailer wiring for you to check out also.

The 4-way wire colors are typically:

White-Ground
Brown-Tail light
Yellow-Left turn
Green-Right turn

The only way to get the OEM connector would be to contact a Nissan dealer.
