A little problems solving for any budding auto electricians out there. I am due to import a 2011 HL BH3585RL. when it arrives at the port I will be collecting it, and towing back to home, on a British truck (rig). Our rigs are fitted with 12v Sockets, so voltage not an issue, the US tow electric plug differ from the UK type, as does the wiring (see blow)
US Plug
pin 1 - white - ground
pin 2 - blue - brake
pin 3 - green - clearance lights
pin 4 - black - charge line
pin 5 - red - left turn
pin 6 - brown - right turn
pin 7 - yellow - aux
UK Plug
pin 1 - yellow - left turn
pin 2 - blue - fog light
pin 3 - white - ground
pin 4 - green - right turn
pin 5 - brown - right side and tail
pin 6 - red - brake/stop
pin 7 - black - left side and tail
in order to meet our legal requirement in UK/Europe I will be modifying the trailer by adding amber turn lamps, and combining the red tail lights with brake lights, once I get it home!
As a quick fix, just to get the trailer from the docks to home,
Your problem is: fit the UK plug to the US wiring to give working lights (Our brake controller run on the UK blue wire as we don't have fog lights wired)
