Hey guys,

This web site has a picture, and lists all the wire
colors from all the various auto manufactures.

BUT, I believe your problem may not be the tow
vehicle, unless after you plugged in your trailer, and
it did blow fuses.

The 60's Airstreams swapped 2 or 3 of the wires.  They
used theh center pin for the breaks, not for back-up
lights.

They also swapped the 12v+ hot wire for something
else, pollibly the ground.  I am still looking for my
old wiring schematic.  Had the same problem with my
1965 - 20" and my 1984 - 26'.  

My I suggest replacing the "fuses" with "auto reset
circuit breakers".  You can get them at Wal-M or any
car parts store, in the auto fuse section.

That way when ever you plug in a trailer, and there is
a short of any kind, the circuit breakers kick in, and
you don;t have to keep looking for fuses.

Wal-M also has the LED test plug.
