Trailer wiring question

[ChicagoSpyder]

No. The extra wire is for trailers with surge brakes and a disable circuit when in reverse. The trailer wiring is still a 4 wire system.

The 5th wire coud be for the lockout on surge brakes, it could be to activate electric brakes, or I'm guessing with the bike trailer it is used for the amber turn signal, it that's the case the Curt 4 to 5 wire adapter I posted above should work just fine.

Please explain how that will work. As Joe asked. He did not want modified the trailer harness on the Spyder. Coming out of the Spyder. The left and right turn signals are combined with the brake lights. How would you split them into separate items without a converter.

Bill, your solution worked on the first try, thanks again.
Also the interior light now works.
