Default Just want someone to verify or correct me

Neighbor bought a 2000 2500 and has a utility bed. Long story short the guys who did the work used speaker wire directly to the tail lights from the pedal. I'm going to put new lights and a hookup for towing a trailer. I've cut the harness and found 6 wires and have traced them to what I think is...

BLACK - GROUND

BLACK/YELLOW - TAIL/RUNNING LIGHTS

BROWN/RED - LEFT TURN

GREEEN/YELLOW - RIGHT

PURPLE/BLACK - REVERSE

WHITE/TAN - ??? (Capped from the factory?)

Just wondering if someone who might already know verify or correct me. I'm guessing the brake signal is also sent with the turn signal wire?? Also not sure what to do about the white/tan wire. It appears to be capped from the factory. Thanks in advance guys.

Grab the 01 service manual from here. Wiring diagrams are in section 8W. Should tell you everything you need to know.

Welcome to DF!

Can you visit a local junkyard, and grab the whole rear harness??
