[VAC] Re: 7 Pin Wiring Electrical Connector

["C. Petrich" <cpetrich@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Here is the connection diagram that our resident electrical engineer posted
recently.  It was helpful to me as I am in the middle of replacing the
connections on our trailer.  Unfortunately, in our case,  the wire colors in
the airstream to do not correspond with those of the tow vehicle (which is
the same as those shown below).  Matter of fact, some of the wires weren't
connected at all, so it is no wonder that some of the lights didn't work,
and that the running lights blow fuses.  Heading outside to try to determine
what goes with what now.
