Uni-Go Electrical Connections
This should help you connect your bike with your
new trailer....
If you are uncomfortable making your own
electrical connections we suggest that you contact your
motorcycle dealer and see if their service department can make these connections for
you. Make sure to ask them about the importance of
using a trailer isolation relay similar to the one
that we sell here. Otherwise, the following
information should help you connect the
lighting system in your trailer to that of your
motorcycle.
Here's the color code list for the
wiring in the trailer itself. The plug and socket terminals
are labeled and numbered inside:

1: Yellow-Left Turn
Signal
2: White-Power Outlet (+)
3: Black-Ground (-)
4: Green-Right
Turn Signal 5:
Blue-Tail / Running Lamps
6: Red-Brake Lamp
7: Brown-Spare (available for custom
use)
Every bike manufacturer seems to use
their own color coding scheme for their wiring. It may
be helpful if you can gain access to a shop manual for your
bike. Locate and identify the wiring for your brake, tail
and turn signal lamps.
If you are using an isolation relay, refer
to the directions that came with your
kit. Securely attach the trailer socket wires to
the bike or relay wires. You may use the blue wire
taps supplied with your trailer connector, but we
recommend you strip, solder and insulate the wiring
for the best possible long term connections.
The white wire for the trailer power
socket should be attached to a switched power source so as
not to run your battery down when the bike is not running.
It is intended for light duty use and should be limited to
a 5 amp draw. This can be connected to the tail lamp
circuit of the isolation relay but should never be
connected directly to your tail lamp wiring!
The trailer socket has two mounting holes
and should be secured firmly to a spot on your bike
where it can be accessed easily to plug in the trailer
yet will not interfere with the suspension or any
other moving parts or accessories on your bike. Firmly
secure all wiring with the attached ties or using
another method to protect them from
damage.
