I have attached a picture that show the configuration of a 6-Way. The pins on the trailer connector should be configured as follows:
1 O'clock position - Blue Brake Controller
5 O'clock position - Green Right Turn/Stop
7 O'clock position - Yellow Left Turn/Stop
10 O'clock position - White Ground
12 O'clock position - Brown Tail and Running Lights
Middle - Black 12V Power
Please note that for some applications the middle pin which is Black for 12V Battery Power might be swapped with the pin in the 2 O'clock position (trailer side) that is Blue for the Brake Controller connection. If your buyer has a 7-Way connector on their tow vehicle then they can simply use the Hopkins Endurance Multi-Tow Trailer Connector Adapter # HM47570 which has a Quick-Change plug that can change those functions to work accordingly.
I have also attached an installation video for you to review.
