Availability of 6-Way/4-Pole Trailer Connector
Question:
Do you have an adapter that goes from 6 pin round to 6 pin round / 4 flat. I have the 6 round on rv but also looking for easy way to add 4 flat for light bar. thanks

Expert Reply:
I don't have a plug-in adapter available, but I do have some solutions that would provide you with a functional 6-way and a 4-pole.
Option one would involve removing your existing 6-way and installing part # 37175. Cut the 4-pole plug off the 37175 and wire it as follows:
Blue - for electric brakes
Red - for auxiliary or hot lead
White - for the ground
Yellow - left turn/brake lamp
Green - right turn/brake lamp
Brown - running lamp
Or, you can completely remove your existing 6-way, install a 7-way like # PK11893. You'd also need a pigtail like # PK11998, a bracket # PK12711U and an adapter # HM47570.
