Helpful Expert Reply:

To replace the 4-Way Flat connector on your utility trailer I recommend picking up the Wesbar Wishbone Wiring Harness # 002402 and then making your connections using the Heat Shrink Butt Connectors # DW05744-5. This has the 5 wires coming off of the connector and it sounds like you'll be connecting them per color.

Just for reference though, here are the different functions you should find on each of those wires:

Green: Right turn/brake light
Yellow: Left turn/brake light
Brown: Tail/running lights
White: Ground wire

Attached are some review videos as well as a helpful article on 4-Way wiring for you to check out.
