So, we went to see relatives that have 2 dogs and evidently either squirrels or mice. 'Something' got to the wiring at the rear of the coach and made a disaster of the wiring and connectors. Wife says it's 'squirrels or mice' because she's defending the dogs

, but I've not seen any rodents around

.

Anyways, can anyone help with a wiring diagram for trailer wiring bundles back there? I have the stock combination round 7-pin connector plus flat 4-pin connector in one housing, and a separate add-on 6-pin round connector for the toad wiring & Remco lube-pump. .... And a rainbow wires going everywhere.

Naturally, I have a complete set of printouts that I saved just for occasions like this... but they're not with me

I seem to remember that the 7-pin connector uses separate turn and brake wires but they are somehow combined at the 4-pin, and that's where I picked off the wires for the 6-pin. (BTW, if true where is the combiner?). Right now, however, I can't re-construct what I had done previously, and can't get my DVM to tell me a lot.

A search on here didn't help much since you can't use more than one word in the search-box, and with an older Mifi wi-fi it's taking forever.

Help?

There are probably fuses in the right rear compartment. I will research schematics for my 08 and get back to you.

Here's the drawing four our '06 Dynasty. I would expect them to be very close, if not identical, at the receptacle at least. And the turn and brake should only involve two wires (plus the ground) as the brake is nothing more than both turns illuminated at the same time. That "combining" should all happen within the coach, primarily inside of the turn signal switch.

If you do have a bunch of chewed wires I would unbundle the wiring and check all of them.

On my coach it came with a rectangular 6 pin plug, not very common. I was having trouble and traced the wires up under the main pulley on the engine and there was another connector hidden in all the wires.

Thanks for the help so far, guys. The wiring diagrams will go a long way towards unraveling the mess. Still trying to dig into it all, but haven't had much time to devote to it.

Memo to self: Be sure to check ground for fire-ants before crawling under coach.
