I just recently acquired a small little trailer from a fellow WSF forum member and I am in the process of getting it road worthy. I am 90% of the way there. I got the registration for my state figured out and it is now plated. I got the ball set up for the hitch receiver and locks to put on it so the trailer can't be removed from the car without keys. Now I am down to the lights.
The trailer has the basic flat four connection so I got the basic flat four connector for the car. I hooked everything up, tracing wires and routing the new ones. The tail lights, both turn signals, and hazards are good to go. No brake lights on the trailer though.
Did some more digging around the car, chasing more wires and discovered that the brake lights are on its own separate deal from the tail lights.
My thought is that I need to uninstall the flat four connector on the vehicle and install the round six connector in its place. After that I should be able to use an adapter bringing the six to a four and have all the lights on the trailer work.
Am I correct in this logic?
