Re: [SilverStreak] to wire a 6 pin round plugs

[<waymark1@xxxxxxxx>]

Unfortunately there is no actual standard for connector wiring.
Usually the seventh connection in a 7 pole connector is used for 
back-up lights on the trailer.
Look at www.rverscorner.com/wiring/6pole.html .
Everything I have seen is according to the ASME color code. I've 
never seen anything wired according to the "RV" color code.
ASME:
White - Ground
Brown - Tail & marker
Green - Right turn/brake
Yellow - Left turn/brake
Blue - Electric brake
Black - +12VDC power/trailer battery charge

This coincides with what is usually found on GM vehicles.
I've never seen a 7 pole Bargman/Pollak connector wired according to 
the code molded on the plugs and receptacles.
My SS had an obsolete gray plastic round pin plug that sort of mated 
with a freight truck receptacle. The plug wasn't long enough to go 
all the way into the metal receptacle. The metal plug would go into 
the gray plastic receptacle. The wiring order was all different.

To the Group, 
? I just got a new to me pull vehicle. Its a 2004 3/4T Chevy with the 
tow package. When I checked the 6 pin round plug it was different then 
what I had on my 1969 Sabre. On the trailer the middle pin is hot. On 
the truck the top pin is. According to the info I found on the internet 
the truck is wired correct. Is that true? Also, is there any way to wire 
up to the truck battery so that it charges as you go down the road when 
you have a 6 pin? I used to have trailers with the 7 contact large round 
plugs, I believe it has a wire to charge the battery so I am surprised 
that the scimatics shown on the net doesn't have a charging wire too.
