Standard wiring colors for 4 pin connectors was anything but used. I had red, blue, black and white in place of green, yellow, black and white. Hmmmmm Fortunately, the Springdale doesn't have a coroplast bottom, so it was pretty straightforward to reroute, tiewrap and clean up the (*&%$^) mess!!!!!
Oh joy! I just purchased new LED fixtures for S/T/T plus adding back-up lights. If all goes well, I may even separate Stop and Turn using Amber fixtures for the Turn signals. Now I expect I will have lots of fun with the multimeter, label maker, and that box of 250 8" cable ties I just bought.

Guess I'll have to take pics, too.
