I have been wanting to put reverse lights on my trailer for sometime and did so this weekend. But they are not working.
I used the backup lights that 21XDC used from 4 State Trucks (https://www.4statetrucks.com//lighti...tion_40232.asp).
My trailer does not have brakes nor wiring for the brakes, so I ran a new wire and added a 5 pin flat connector for the backup function.
The brakes, turn signal, and tail lights all work; but not the reverse lights.
The new wire that I ran, I connected to the blue wire marked (BK) on the plug and the yellow pig tail on the light.
The 5 pin flat plug has the white ground wire, brown for the tail, yellow for left turn, green for right turn, and the blue wire. no purple like I see in the diagram from etrailer.
I hope someone can tell me where I went wrong.
If it makes any difference; my truck has a 7 pin round connector. I'm using a 5 pin flat with an adaptor.
The adapter has 5 receivers on the trailer side, 4 pins plus the the center pin on the truck side.
I thought I was smart enough do do this job; but maybe not.
Thanks
