Trailer Wiring

[walleyeaddict]

Ok I am just !@#$%^& baffled! Trying to rewire plug on boat trailer. Coming out of the trailer there is 7 wires. Now correct me if I am wrong PLEASE! Of those 7 there should be 1 left stop and 1 left turn that get hooked in the same slot. Same for 1 right stop and 1 right turn hooked together in same slot. That leaves three wires....two running/marker lights and a ground...correct? Why can't I seem to get everything working? Keep blowing fuses on the truck. Any ideas?

If you're blowing fuses in the truck, somewhere you've got a short going directly to ground. Have you checked all the wires with an ohm meter? Do you know FOR SURE which wire is ground?

Don't mean to sound like I'm pickin' on ya... But sometimes we all overlook even the most obvious of things.

EDIT: Do you have trailer brakes?

Here is a couple of pics that might help with your color coding of the wires.

Thanks alot Jim! Headed out to take a look at it again in a bit. I think I have it figured out from your diagrams. Thanks again, you have no idea how much you helped me out!

Moose, no trailer brakes. I do not know for sure which is groung because there are two whites. Going to try again will let you guys know. Thanks.

UPDATE: Come to find out there is one EXTRA yellow wire does nothing goes to nothing. All is good now full lit! Thanks for the diagrams they made me realize the extra wire.

It sure makes it a whole lot easier when you know what each wire is suppose to do. Glad to hear every thing is working good.
