Expert Reply:
It sounds like your trailer had a wishbone harness and/or could have multiple ground wires. On a 4-Way trailer end, the one covered pin is the ground. Next to that is the running light pin. The running light pin on some connectors will have more than 1 wire coming out. One of those wires is for the driver's side running lights and the other is for the passenger's side running lights. So it could be a situation like that.
On the actual trailer lights look at where the wires go into the lights. The functions might be labeled on the light housing.
Usually, white wires are grounds, green is right turn signal/brake lights, yellow is left turn signal/brake lights, and brown is running lights.
If you'd like you can snap some pictures of what you're seeing and email them to me.
