Question 1987 Trailer wire hookup?

I have done it a couple times, but i hate to continue towing my trailer without a lights . I bought the connector, but I don't know the color-code for the wires (brakes, L turn, R turn, taillights) I do know, i think, that white is ground. If anyone knows it would be a great help to give me a simple list of what they are


Thanks

Default

The trucks colors should be

LT GRN/ORG LH Turn/stop
ORG/LT BLU RH Turn/stop
BRN Running lights
BLK Ground


Match these colors to your trailers harness, mine matches this way
Truck Trailer Function

LT GRN/ORG Yellow LH turn
ORG/LT BLU Green RH turn
BRN Black Running
BLK White Ground
