Although there are no wiring diagrams available for the # PK11501, when looking at the front of the harness the 12 o'clock pin is the tail lights (brown wire) the 2 o'clock pin is the aux circuit (red), the 5 o'clock pin is the right turn/brakes (green) , the 7 o'clock pin is the left turn/brakes (yellow) and the 10 o'clock pin is the ground (white wire).

I have added a link to a video review for you to check out as well.

The Hopkins Adapter 7-Pole to 6-Pole #47549 plugs into a vehicle side 7-way socket and converts that connector format to a 6-way round-pin type. If you think you will need some length for your connection, #HM47083 is an alternative that does the same…

Answer 7

There is not an adapter so you'd need to make your own for your trailer with a 5-round connector like #PK11501. What you'd need to do is cut off the end of your 4-way and connect the wires to the terminals of the 5-Pole, Round Pin Trailer…
