Hi, can someone please tell me what each color goes to. I have white, brown, yellow, green?  Need to rewire for a new car.
Thanks so much.:U

My Starcraft manual gives these wiring codes:

Brown: ~ R.H. turn/stop
Red ~ L.H. turn/stop
Green ~ Clearance
Blue ~ Brakes
Black ~ Charge
Yellow ~ Back-up
White ~ Ground

The flat 4's are like this:

White = ground

Brown = parking lights/running lights/clearance lights

Green = Right turn/Brake

Yellow = Left turn/Brake



^^ So that's how you'll wire your harness to your vehicle.  If your vehicle has seperated turn signal bulbs (and I'm sure it does) you'll need the style of flat 4 harness that has the diode pack in it that will convert your vehicle's extra lights into what it takes to simply blink the trailer's signals and turn on it's brake light bulbs.

Problem is, the Stracrafts are wired with differen colors than standard......as you see from Fly's info above.  So what you wind up doing is taking your vehichle harness and simply matching it to the corresponding wire in the camper.  I do them 1 at a time so as to make sure that when I have the right blinker on, the camper's right blinker is on, etc.

But consider this option.  A wiring job is a wiring job, so consider doing a 7 pin instead.  That will give you the ability to charge your camper's battery while towing, as well as power it's fridge on 12 volts.  It will give you electric brakes (if you install a Tekonsha Prodigy controller) and it will give you reverse lights on the camper if the camper has that style of tail light (and it seems most all of the Starcraft's do).
