Your best option is going to be to use a circuit tester like part # PTW2993 to test all of the wires on the vehicle side and connect them by function to the 7-way. You'll want to have a buddy apply the different taillight circuits as you apply turn signals etc. to identify them. I attached a 7-way diagram for you to check out as well to use as a guide.
