Hi and Welcome.

Is it just that you've "stretched" the wiring and pulled some connectors apart ?
If so it should be simple enough to repair, or have repaired.

I did that -- I forgot to unplug when I unhitched!  Limped back into town.  Took some good natured teasing from the wiring guy.  I think he charged me $50 to replace the plug.

He said that it wasn't the first time he'd fixed something like that.

Welcome to the "oops club."

Welcome to the club.  I've done that too!   Just suck it up and get it fixed.

We still don't know what the damage is.
Have you just ripped the cover/latch off the truck's receptacle ?
Is the trailer's wiring pulled out from the plug ?
Is the trailer's wiring ripped apart ?

Details, we can probably help you if we have some details.

Location: Weatherford, TX 76087		The male in the bed of the truck is in tact. The Female connector on the trailer is in tact. All that has happened is the wires pulled out of the female on the trailer and I need to find out how to re-wire it so I can get the lights working the way their supposed to. On the Female itself it has designated colors and spots for the wiring, but when I put red to red, white to white, black to black, green to green, brown to brown...the last spot on the plug is for a blue wire and the last wire coming from the trailer is yellow, so I put yellow wire in the blue spot on the plug and get a crazy combination of lights. I'm going to try and switch the black and put it to the blue and the yellow in the black spot tonight to see if that will work. You'd think if someone was going to wire something that they would use a standard color code, but I guess they're smarter than me.

Location: Lone Oak, Tx		Since you mentioned 6 colors of wires I'm going to assume that it is a 6-way connector so here is a diagram of a 6-way connector.

Hope this helps

They do adhere to a standard, not all of them adhere to the SAME standard.
Yellow is SOMETIMES used for back-up lights, blue is almost always used for electric brakes.
etrailer.com has a chart for most of the common standards, I think there was also a link or copy of it at this site's home page. http://www.horsetrailerworld.com

Location: Weatherford, TX 76087		There are 6 wires with a center pin in the middle so I'm assuming (maybe wrongly that this is a 7 pin (6 blades and a centerpin) connector.

7 is indeed equal to 6+1
