    Default Can anyone help with Trailer harness wire color guidance?

    Just installed the slingmods.com Trailer Wiring Harness for the Can-Am Spyder RT (2010-19).

    The harness wire colors for the lights are:
    Green - ground
    Blue - right turn signal
    Orange - left turn signal
    Brown - running lights
    Red - brake lights

    Wiring a Hopkins Towing Solutions 5 flat to the end of the harness, wire colors for connector:
    White - ground
    Green - right turn signal
    Yellow - left turn signal
    Brown - park/tail
    Blue - backup

    I have the ground, right turn signal, and left turn signal spliced together.
    Harness Green - white connector
    Harness Blue - green connector
    Harness Orange - yellow connector

    I am unsure with the last 2 wires… can someone help?

    Thanks,
    Brent

    What trailer and what does its connector look like (pictures help)?

    I went to Hopkins and didn't see a "Hopkins Towing Solutions 5". Provide a link.

    Which SlingMods harness did you buy -- 4-wire or 5-wire version? And there's one wire missing from your description -- Power.

    There's also a history of the SM harnesses having the turn signal connections reversed (might be fixed now). Do a search.

    Do you have a DVM? If not it's an important tool in your collection.

    Thanks for the help… did a process of elimination with the help of my wife and this is how the colors ended up connecting:

    Harness side to Connector Side
    Brown Harness wire to brown connector wire
    Orange Harness to blue connector wire
    Red Harness to yellow connector wire
    Blue Harness to Green connector wire
    Green Harness to white connector wire

    Thanks,
    Brent
