What you are going to need to do is use a circuit tester like part # PTW2993 to test the functions of each of the wires that you removed from your 7-way like the video I attached shows so that you can determine which ones are the correct wires to use for the 4-way.

On the 4-way the white is ground, green is right turn/stop, yellow is left turn/stop, and brown is running lights.

In case you remember where each wire ran on the 7-way of the truck I attached a diagram that shows where all of the wires would have been ran.
