Wanting to hook up the lights/brake wiring on a trailer I bought, it has a 7 pin r/v type connector (came with it), and noticed that the truck had a six pole plug broken, so replacing it with a 7 to match trailer. The trailer has a 7 pole and the wiring diagram I found on a url mentioned some time back on this site from "lucky B trailer parts" were all different, In trying to use their diagram of the plugs, couldn't decide if they were looking at the side of the connector where the screws fasten the wires to the connector, or if they were looking at the side where the two halves connect; that is the business end of the plug where they go together, does any one have an understandable diagram that identifies the wiring orientation? I think now I may have it backwards. Need to know which side it is referring to, whether they are referring to the wire/screw connection side of each plug, or the contact side. Would like to wire it up to some sort of standard if there is one. Right now if you look at the truck plug from the contact side,that is opening the flap and looking into it, the brakes are at 1'oclock, the right turn signal is at 3'oclock, the back up lights are at 5 o'clock, the tail light/marker lamps are at 7, the left turn signal is at 9, and the ground wire is at 11'oclock, and the center pin is vacant at the moment, although it has a 12-gauge wire to it on the truck end for some future use. I have the plug housing turned so that the flap opens from the 11 o'clock position down to the 5 o'clock position so that the flap goes down from the bumper, to keep it from hitting the bumper,realize that it is probably inverted from most people's way, but that is what it takes to mount it on the hitch reciever under the bumper on the 97 GMC 2500 series truck I have. Might need to hook up to some one elses trailer some day and would like to know wiring is compatible if it is possible to be that way. Thanks Gene
