Need help with wiring. Aaahhhh!!!

Don't ask why but we had to take the trailer socket off our new forwarding trailer and the person who took it off did not make a note of what wires went where!!!

 

It's a standard 7 pin plug but with only 5 wires - red, yellow, blue, grey and black. The positions on the plug are marked - 1/L, 2/54g, 3/31, 4/R, 5/58R, 6/54 and then the centre one (forgot what that was!!).

 

Spent three hours this morning trying to use a 7 pin wiring diagram detailing 7 wires but obviously we only have 5 and one of them is grey which does not appear on any diagram!!

 

Any knowledgable advice would be greatly appreciated.

There are a multitude of different cable colours out there, not just our UK spec.

 

In my experience the white has always been Earth (probably grey in your case). The easiest way to check, if you don't have a battery laying about is to remove the lens covers on the back and take note of the colours at the bulb connectors and note which colour is attached directly to the metal body of the light housing (Earth).

 

The layout is generally as the diagram Al has provided.

 

I hope it all goes well.
