    Tough electrical question on trailer wiring

    Simply put my new boat trailer has a 5 pin flat wire harness on it for the surge brakes and my vehicle has a 4 pin flat. I have looked at many forums as well as auto parts stores and no ones makes an adapter to convert 4 pin to 5 pin. I just need to know where to put the extra reverse wire...
