[A/S] Help w/Trailer Wiring on new toad 2000 Excursion



Hey Folks - 
I'm told you folks with F250, F350 and F450 all have the same wiring 
as the Excursion.

Need your input - My 64 Tradewind with 7 pin plug doesn't mate pin 
wise with my new 2000 Excursion 7 pin recepticle.

One pin in the Excursion is for back up lights - (64 Tradewind 
doesn't have those) and one is for the electric brakes. I can move 
the trailer brake wire to the Excursion pin but that leaves the stopm 
lite wire on the trailer in never never land!

Directions and flashers and 12v charging circuit for the trailer 
battery all match.

My questions are -
1. the black stop light wire from the tradewind has no place to go???
attaching it to one of the turn signals makes both tail lights flash.

2. Any thoughts on where to tap into the Excursion trailer brake 
wires?
 
Or would you suggest rewiring the whole thing with a seperate 
recepticle?


Thanks for your help -
