How To Install New 4-Way on Trailer with Brown/Green and Brown/Yellow Wires
Published 04/05/2023
Question:
My trailer has green, yellow, brown/yellow and brown/green wires. My new connector has white, brown, yellow and green. Which wire goes to which wire? Thanks

It sounds like you have a pretty standard wishbone trailer wiring harness and in which case, the wire colors are as follows:
green= right stop/turn
yellow= left stop/turn
green/brown= right running light
yellow/brown= left running light
The confusion for you is likely the two brown wires. If you are just installing a standard trailer connector like the Hopkins Endurance Easy-Pull Harness part # HM38134 you would simply attach the green/brown and yellow/brown to the single brown wire at the connector.
