Can the Wesbar 5-Pole Flat Connector be Used on a Reverse Circuit
Question:
I just purchased a 5 way flat plug with 40 ft of wire to run my trailer lights how would I make this work for reverse lights I figured the blue wire can be used as the power for reverse less. Thanks

Yes, you are correct in that the blue wire on the Wesbar 5-Pole Flat Connector part # A40W5B can be used for the reverse light circuit. I have listed for you below the way I recommend wiring the connector.
Yellow: Left Turn/Stop
Green: Right Turn/Stop
Brown: Tail
Blue: Reverse
White: Ground
Please note that however you wire the trailer side connector, the vehicle side connector will need to match it in order for the lights to function properly.
