Question:

need to know about truck camper wiring?

I have 1971 slide in truck camper with 5 way pin wiring wires are red, white ,yellow, black,green.need to know what wire's do what...thanks

Answer:

green is common ground. red is usually rear lights, White and yellow are the turn signals Black is the bachk up lights. But it is not standard.
On a 4 wire harness, normally the left turn signal is green, right is yellow, tail lights are brown, and ground is black. The fifth wire is usually for surge brakes as on a heavy trailer. Take a look at the link below for various configurations.

The wires are as follows: 1 = Trailer (battery 12+) wire (for trailer break-away battery) 2. white= ground 3.Green= right turn 4.yellow=left turn 5.Brown ( should not be black) is the tail lamp circuit ADDED: Ground on trailers are always white! And there is NO Black wire on a trailer harness! (if there is you will need to trace it out because someone put the wrong color wire in there!
