Replacing OEM Trailer Connector
I had my trailer connector tested and found that the parking lights work, but the brake lights and turn signals do not. I'm assuming the 6 long New England winters did my connector in. I am going to replace the connector.
I have a couple questions:
-Does it matter which trailer connector I replace it with? I ask this because when I took off the OEM connector, it has pins that plugged into the OEM connector. The connectors that I see at local stores, don't have these pin holes. They simply require you to screw the bare wires into the unit.
-I look at wiring diagrams for trailer connectors and they don't match how my OEM was wired. The yellow wire was in the middle connection for OEM, but the diagrams I see, show it on the outside and the blue wire goes in the middle. Wires coming out of the 4Runner are: white, red, green, black, brown, blue and yellow.
Anybody who has replaced their trailer connector, please chime in. Thanks a lot.
