Re: Trailer Wiring Problem
Unfortunately every vehicle manufacturer uses their own color coding system
for trailer wires. This has been a pet peeve of mine for years, but anyway,
this should fix you up:
The taillight wires on the trailer harness are brown, they should both go to
the green wire on the vehicle.
The left turn wire on the trailer is yellow and should go to the red wire on
the vehicle.
The right turn wire on the trailer is green and should go to the brown wire
on the vehicle.
Here is a pretty decent site for all the color codes:

Re: Trailer Wiring Problem
True enough, but the color codes I listed below came directly off the
instructions included with the factory pigtail for our Grand Cherokee.
The colors do match what the OP listed for his XJ, so I assume they
are correct.
