Get a tester light the type with an alligator clip and a sharp point.
Check each wire for your brake lights,blinkers etc.
i.e. With the blinker light on find the correct wire and splice into it with the corresponding light on the trailer. ( DO NOT CUT THE TRUCKS WIRE)
Remove the covering and twist the plug wires around it and tape or shrink wrap if you can.
Hope this helps

Brake controller or trailer brakes connections or brake light to run system

The brake switch at the pedal does have six wires, but none go to the multifunction switch (on the steering column). The white wire with tan tracer goes to the combination flasher to be integrated with the turn signals/hazard lights. The combination flasher is under the dash next to the steering column and has a sixteen pin connector (ten of which have wires).

Now power to the trailor hook up on back bumper, fuses are O.k. wiring apears to be o.k. it is dodge ram 1500 4x 4 single cab c/w 4.7 8cly. be nice to get a wiring diagram. thanks Wayne

you will need to check the wiring under the bumper where the trailer wiring is with a test light and with the different lights working.you will probably have to move back in the wiring by 6" and retest until you find were the loss of power is.you don`t say if all the lights don`t work or just certain ones.the brown wire is the tail light,green is the right signal light,yellow is the left signal light and white is the ground wire.you could have broken wires at the trailer hook up itself.

Which wire or wires are the cold side of the stoplight switch for wireing a electric trailer brake on a '99 Dodge Dakota.

use a test light, the one that does not light it with no pressure on pedal & lights it with pressure on pedal is the one you want

Can't find location for trailer elect hook-up

there is no factory connector you must tap into the existing wiring for brake, turn signals, tail and running lights, they make special adapters to "piggy back" into these wiries, U-Haul trailer rental can do (install and sell) this kit for u very cheap.

2001 Dodge Dakota Trailer Brake Wiring

Call dealer & ask them to run your vin# to see if it came with towing package. They shouldn't mind. If not, you'll have to wire it in yourself.

Need wire diagram to hook up trailer lights, truck not factory equipped w/harness,

I'm assuming you're just going to splice into the tail light wiring so that's what these wire colors are:
at the tail lamp 3 way connector:
black and yellow = park lamp
dark green and brown = left turn signal
there should be another connector with violet and black wire for reverse lights.
the stop lights are turned on through the turn signal circuits.
