Expert Reply:
Your new connector uses the standard trailer wiring color code of:
White for ground
Green for right stop/turn
Yellow for left stop/turn
Brown for running lights
Your trailer most likely was wired with the color of wire that was most convenient so you will need to use a 12 volt battery with a jumper wire to test all of the circuits by applying voltage to each wire to see what is what. Most likely white is ground and brown is running lights.
