Trailor lights wiring question

[deirdre08]

My Monarch trailor has a 4 wire harness.One is green,one is green and brown ( which is right next to the green)one is yellow and the 4th wire is yellow and brown ( which is next to the yellow)<br /><br />The harness I am trying to hook it up to has 4 wires which are white,yellow,green, and brown.<br /><br />Can you suggest the proper matching of the trailor and harness wires?<br />Thanks

Green to green<br />Yellow to yellow<br />Green/brown and yellow/brown to brown<br />White to ground<br /><br />Be sure to ground the trailer harness white lead to the trailer frame. Also ground the white lead on the vehicle side harness to a vehicle ground. If you don't have good grounds you will have problems with the lights working properly.

And also make sure each light has a good ground. This ground is usually made with a screw or bolt that secures the light to the trailer frame. If that connection isn't clean and tight, or the wire wire in the harness is not properly grounded all sorts of weird things happen. Likewise, the white wire ground on the tow vehicle needs to be properly grounded.
