Expert Reply:
Since you are having issues when all the colors seem accurate, I recommend connecting by using the function. For this you will need a circuit tester like # PTW2993. This will allow you to check each function on your vehicle, and then check each function on your trailer to match functions. This will also allow you to check wires for a short along the way so you can replace broken wires. I've attached a couple articles to assist.
