What Wire Color Codes and Functions Are Used for Pollak Connecter 12-705 and PK11720
Question:
can u plz tell me the colors and where they wire up in the plug itself
asked by: Brian S
Expert Reply:
There is no industry standard wiring code. Pollak uses the following:
White - Ground Return
Black - Clearance, Side Marker, Identification
Yellow - Left Turn and Hazard Signal
Red - Stop Lamps and Anti-Lock Devices
Green - Right Turn and Hazard Signal
Brown - Tail, Rear Clearance, Marker and License-Plate Lamps
Blue - Auxiliary Circuit/ABS
We have a different combination of colors we use for specific functions which you can see in the wiring FAQ article that I have linked.
Finally, vehicle manufacturers can use any color they want so you have to test the wires by function using a circuit tester like # PTW2993 if needed, and then wire them to the connector in the correct places. I have included a picture from the FAQ that might also help.
