4 pin trailer harness
Ok, tomorrow morning I need to be on the road to pickup a 30 ft trailer. I won't have time to purchase the plug-and-play trailer harness. Can someone please help me with which wires should be spliced into the tail harness? Again, no time to get the plug and play. Your help will be appreciated. Thanks

Re: 4 pin trailer harness
Yes, so our tail harness is basically the same colors as the 4 pin flat connector?
Our tail light vs 4 pin Right turn: Dark Green - Green Left turn: Yellow - Yellow Tail (park light): Brown - Brown Ground: white |

Re: 4 pin trailer harness
The easiest way I have found is disconnect the plug right after the rear end. Stick the test light on each wire and have some one work each one. Write them down as you go. Takes 15 minutes maybe. Color codes don't mean a whole lot on a 40 year old truck that you have no idea what has been done to it.
Make sure the trailer wires match the truck and that the trailer grounds good to the truck.
