[SilverStreak] To wire a 6 pin round plugs

[<joepatwink@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Al,? 
Thanks for the info on wiring. My plug follows the discription, white is ground and yellow is left turn etc. but I am getting thrown off by the fact that on some drawings the ground is on the upper pin on the drivers side on the vehicle and in other drawings it is on the upper pin on the passenger side. If you wire the vehicle according to the one drawing and your trailer to the other you wire brakes to ground. Maybe some people didn't understand that the plug and the sockets are mirror images of each other. 
? The other thing that that threw me is that the plug on the truck, and its a chevy, had the 12V wire put in the center like it should be, but there was not juice to it. It is colored red, as per the wiring instructions that come in the booklet in the glove box. Any idea on what I need to go to get juice to it, is there a fuse in the fuse box or something?

? Thanks for you help.

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.
