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 Trailer Plugdepartment 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:
Connector Wiring Colors
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.

Isolation RelayIf 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!

Trailer SocketThe 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.
