To determine how to wire any connector you will need to determine the function of each wire with a circuit tester as there is no universal color code. I recommend the very handy Cordless Circuit Tester # PTW2979 due to how easy it is to use.

Once you find their functions you can match them to your 7-way, and the accompanying diagram shows the connections for the different style of 7-ways.

I have added a link to a help article on trailer wiring I very strongly recommend reading.
