    am i right in guessing top 2 connectors are W, middle is R turn and bottom 2 are B. its for utility trailer right side turn and brake light. wiring is corroded beyond repair and need a quick road repair. w looks like its for white (ground) b for brown (power) and of course R turn for turn signal.

    Clear your mind grasshopper. Do not follow the signs. Sorry I do not remember but you must have terminals for: 1 Right turn. 2 Left turn. 3 Running, tail, marker, clearance lights. 4 Ground. 5 for electric brakes. Brake lights work on the same circuit as the turn signals. Get a test light and work it out. KIMG0742.jpeg

    If wr2001 did not understand there was a TV series that had a person nicknamed that. It showed some of his learning process and how he used it later. I thought he was very respectable. Still learning myself.

    Indicator on the trailer should be its own circuit. On the tractor they share.

    I was thanking he was pulling a smaller trailer. Looking at the picture back ground it is full sized. Probably a harness plug at the rear of the trailer
    I thought the wiring set up you refer to would be at least 6 wires and we are both referring to tractor trailer connectors? Anyway I am incorrect. Hope he got it worked out.

    So there are brown, red and white wires, the indicator wire and (I'm assuming) a black center ground? Does this actually go into the light or is it a pigtail of sorts that connects the light cluster to the main harness?
