Okay ...
But YELLOW goes to the left side, and you gave another color in your easy-to-remember method.
I agree you gave the right color to remember the right side, but you gave the wrong color to remember the left side. I gave you the actual color for the left side, and you got nasty.
Also there seems to be no convention set for the trailers wiring other than white being the ground. Yellow seems every time to be left, but the green and brown switched from running to right on different sites. The flat four pin connector on this etrailer site doesn't even try to suggest what is what . So I guess the best way would be to inspect the trailer bulbs wiring and see how that manufacturer wired it.
No I didn't. I threw in that PORT was left. If you ever noticed, PORT is not a color. It is a marine term for the left side of the boat. It was supposed to be humorous. Apparently you didn't get it. I just threw that in because it is a good way to remember PORT from STARBOARD. Port has 4 letters, Left has four letters. Has nothing to do with trailer lights, granted, but was put out there anyway.
Bye.
Anyone using green for running/tail or brown for a turnsignal/brake is just flat doing it wrong. Sure some trailer manufacturers do it that way, but that doesn't change the standard.
Apparently not. Maybe it was humor challenged.
