Adapter Recommendation to Convert Separate Trailer Wiring to Combined
Question:
Hello I have this bargman 7 way wiring for the trailer side Item # WG54006-043 and the wiring diagram shows that the brake lights are tied into the same wire that the left and the right turn signals use, so Im trying to wire a set of running lights and turn signals on the side of my trailer using the same light itself. But since the turn signal wire also acts a brake light wire on this 7 way trailer plug I cant figure out how to wire my new side lights in. I dont need Amber color brake lights and not on the side of the trailer either, red wire is left turn and brake and brown is right turn and brake, while the green works tail lights. If there is something that I am missing on this to try and figure out how to use one led light that is a 3 wire to only work on tail and turn signal could you please let me know, or unless I need a different 7 way wire plug for the trailer where these wires would be separated so I could use each wire for a different function. Any help with this would be great thank you.

Expert Reply:
What you need is a converter to match the combined trailer wiring you have with the separate wiring you have from the vehicle. For that what you need is the part # RM-732 installed on the wiring. This will take the separate wiring and make it combined so that it will work like it should on the 7-way.
