| The
wiring code for the 6-way connector is shown below. This is most
commonly used on horse trailers, stock trailers, and utility trailers.
When
changing connectors match the positions from old to new or better
yet test for function and be sure the connector is wired to
the standard code. Also
notice that the center (A) terminal is not the brake
terminal nor the ground terminal. The center terminal is listed
as an auxiliary terminal and is used for either backup lights
or a 12 volt (+) wire. I
recommend that this terminal be wired for 12 volt (+) for charging
the breakaway switch battery. Breakaway switches are now pretty
much required on most trailers with electric brakes and a charged
battery is required for proper operation. If
you are trying to wire a car/truck that has separate turn and
brake lights to a trailer where they are one piece you are going
to need an Converter. These use diodes to change the currents
to the tail lights. They look like this (CONVERTER)
and are sold at most parts stores for around 10-20 bucks
