The 4 pin connector should have 4 colored wires. They are: Yellow - Left Rear Stop and Turn Signal Green - Right Rear Stop and Turn Signal White - Chassis Ground Brown - Tail / License and Running Lights If you are matching a vehicle to a trailer, be sure to verify this with a test lamp or meter. Some folks make up their own rules, and the connector could be wired differently from the standard!
first of all, you will need a volt/oms meter, that should have a DC setting
or for 12 volt, on the plug , turn on a turn signal, place the black probe on the meter to the frame, then start probing each little hole in the plug to find which one is the turn signal ,that will coraspond with the wire on the trailer that goes to that turn signal, most trailer harnness are color coded,
and your vech, should have a color code for the trailer plug,
With some vehicles, you can purchase a WYE harness, which you install in the rear harness of the vehicle. You separate the provided plug and install the Y between the two plugs and the end of the Y becomes the trailer harness.
Other vehicles you have to splice the wires. Normally brown wire is the running lights, Yellow is the left turn, and Green is the right turn. White is the ground between the trailer and the vehicle, for a total of 4 wires.
Check with your local auto parts store. They can get you a kit that contains everything you need to wire up a trailer including the tail light assemblies, side lights, wire harness and a male and female flat four plug connector.
Most people run it coming out from under the hitch, down the rails, and then to their taillights.
Many auto parts retailers will have a plug-in trailer connection that is designed specifically for your vehicle. If they do, it's usually just a quick process of following the directions. It's worth it especially since it can help you keep from having the connections corrode.

I Got the Hook Up - song - was created in 1998.
1) I've learned more than anything to unhook the lights before backing the trailer into the water. Nothing like a hot bulb meeting cold water.....but if you believe the advertisements, boat trailer lights should be waterproof and not let water into the space where the bulb is. RIGHT !!!! 2) Now, the other issue that has to do adequate grounding usually needing more just the hitch ball. - inadequate grounding is the number one cause of trailer light problems and cause all kinds of strange behavior (work sometimes, or only when headlights are off, or both sides flash with either blinker, etc.) - try a better ground than the tongue and checking for any corrosion at any of the individual light ground connections (which tend to corrode over time).

The center pin of a seven blade trailer plug is for reverse lights, not power. What type of truck is it? What trailer plug do you have...
no, but with a truck you can hook up a oil rig.
no
Most auto parts stores have wiring kits that you can just plug into your factory wiring without any trouble. Check with your local auto parts dealers
Your local auto parts store can supply you with a kit you can install yourself on to the van. The kit will come with instructions.
yes you can hook it up
wiring to hook up a boat trailer is the same as any other trailer. most plugs obtained from an auto store will have diagram and instructios
The brake controller has to be hooked up to a power source. The controller also has to be hooked to the brake switch or tail lights, then to the plug for the trailer.
