Expert Reply:
For your 1998 Toyota T-100, it sounds like you have a 4 way that connects to a 7-way adapter. I recommend testing your 4-way harness using a circuit tester like # PTW2993 to make sure that wiring harness is failing at that left turn/stop pin.
If you need to replace the harness, I recommend the Tekonsha T-One Vehicle Wiring Harness with 4-Pole Flat Trailer Connector # 118496 is my recommendation. This will give you a great harness that will allow you to connect the 4-way trailer or the 7-way adapter and give you the features you need. If the 4-way works but the 7-way adapter doesn't then you can replace the adapter with # HM47180.
