| Hosspuller,
Where did you get this from? It does not match anything I can find.
Yours says red is for the brakes. I have a red and I don't see that on any diagrams. you don't show power on your diagram. Isn't the center post 12V? I think it is the blue wire. |

Location: Ashland, Ohio | It should be 14 ga. wire, but the color code varies with different mfg. Our Hawk uses blue for brakes, but the red wire is used for the left turn signal. I would suggest contacting Sundowner, or get out the battery charger and see what lights up when you connect the wires. |

| Hosspuller, thanks. Now that you say the blue or AUX is for 12V I think that yours matches mine. I'll try it out tonight.
Thanks |
