🔌Understanding the 6-Way Plug Wiring Diagram

When you’re towing with a trailer, understanding the 6-way plug wiring diagram can save you time, prevent confusion, and make installations hassle-free. Whether you’re replacing an old connector or wiring a new one from scratch, this guide will help you get the job done right the first time, with no second-guessing or crossed wires.

The 6-way vehicle connector is commonly used for light- to medium-duty trailers and supports essential functions such as tail lights, turn signals, brake controller output, and 12V battery power. Each pin in the plug has a designated purpose, so proper alignment is crucial for both safety and reliable trailer function.

• Brown – Tail and running lights

• Yellow – Left turn and brake
