Ok you guys have been wonderful in helping me in the past...so I need your expertise again. Originally this trailer had a 6pin round plug. I had to take it in and get it converted to a 7 pin round. Well as I was towing it in the back yard the plug came out and pulled off leaving the wires hanging. I have tried for 5 hours to put the wires back together on the correct pins. Of course it is Sunday and nobody is open today, and I have to go to work today (pony rider at a track and a TB farm). I am supposed to pony some young 2 yr olds at the farm today. So if anyone has had any luck converting a towlite 6pin to a 7 pin round I could use your help.. my wires are black, red, green, brown, yellow, and blue. thanks a bunch in advance! |

Location: sc | look here, http://www.horsetrailerworld.com/home/wiring.asp i would start by matching color to color on the the yellow, green, brown, blue. as for your black and red, one should be 12v and the other the ground. can you follow one of them and see if it grounds on your trailer? i would have to guess the red is the 12v and the black is the ground????? |

Location: North Carolina | CRG .. Thank you for the note... but this site has a pretty good resource. try the 7 pin diagram at this link... http://www.horsetrailerworld.com/home/wiring.asp Be aware that the brake and 12 volt power positions are interchanged in some vehicles. If your trailer brakes are always locked up, switch the two wires in the trailer plug. Once you get the wires sorted out, make a little note in your truck's manual. Then if you're in the same pickle jar again, you have the means to fix it quickly. |

This is a good Idea and I'm glad I've done it. That way when you stop for snacks and the stupid little brat from the next car decides to climb into your truck and pulls all the wires out of your trailer junction box you will know how to put them back together. |

Location: Lockport, Illinois | If you are using a 7 flat pin RV plug it is color coded different than a 6 pole horse trailer plug. The typical wiring for a 6-way round is Blue...brakes Black...Ground Brown...taillights Green...right turn Yellow.. left turn Red... accessory A 7-pole RV connector is different. White...ground Blue...brakes Green...taillights Black...battery Red...left turn Brown...Right turn Yellow... Auxilary |
