Can someone please help with trailer wiring? I'm hooking up a five prong flat that has the following wires:<br />dark green, yellow, brown, white, blue<br /><br />My 97 Blazer has the following wires with what the manual says they are:<br />light green- back-up lamps<br />brown- tail/parking lamps<br />yellow- left stop and turn signal<br />dark green- right stop and turn signal<br />heavy white- ground<br />light white- auxilary stoplamp<br /><br />I assume I match all wires with like-colored wires, so which does the blue connect with?<br />My manual says there is a blue for trailer brakes on the vehicle, but I don't see it underneath. The trailer has brakes, so I need to figure out how to hook this up.

is it possible that you don't get the blue wire unless truck bought with trailering package?<br />If you don't have brakes installed on the trailer, don't worry about it...

Does the trailer have electric brakes or a surge brake?<br /><br />Bob
