The Hopkins Multi-Tow 7-Way Blade and 4-Way Flat Trailer Connector - Chevrolet/GMC # HM11141144 will connect the following way:
harness color to vehicle color--I've attached a photo to assist.
white to black
brown to brown
yellow to yellow
green to green
purple to gray
blue to blue
red to orange
The wires are 12 gauge for white, blue, and red. They are 14 gauge for the other function colors. The kit comes with the butt connectors and dielectric grease for installation.

I recently installed this part on my 2019 Canyon. When testing functionality using my trailer, nothing functions. On the 4-way flat turn signals, brakes etc do not come on. How can I figure out if its the connector of the trailer. I have volt meter capable of measuring 12v output, but I am not sure where to attach the leads. Thank you
