I would love to help but a common misconception with wiring a trailer is that you can just simply match colors and that is not the case. In order to install a new trailer connector like part # PK12706 on your trailer you will need to test each circuit to see which wire has which function which can be done by applying 12 volt power to each wire and then checking to see which circuit is activated by that wire. This is the only tried and true method for trailer wiring.
