Give me all the color codes for your wires and I will match them up to mine and give you the layout.

The layout is the same as this.



What colors Dodge uses for each position is what he needs.

The 4-Pin will be the same wires minus the Battery Wire, Reverse Light Wire, and the Brake Controller Wire.

I love my dak. but it's certainly the type of body that I'd rather walk behind than look straight in the face. or even 3/4 angle. the "paper bag over the head" thing comes to mind.

did your dak happen to be in an accident before you bought it ...maybe a bodyshop cut and sealed the connectors after a rebuild?

list the wires colors in both sides of the y

do any match from side A to side B

4 pin = left turn, right turn, park, ground
7 pin = left turn, right turn, park, ground, reverse, break signal, and 12v+ iirc

get a test light and turn your headlights and hazards on start probing your wires
shouldnt be that hard to figure out

Like Reagor said. Use a static test light and have someone hit the brakes, turn signals and lights one at a time and you will have your wiring coded then when you buy the plug it will have the pin orientation in the instructions.
