Aluma MCTXL wiring question.

[Keystone]

My used 2013 Aluma MCTXL came with a flat 4. Lights "worked" but not as designed by Aluma. I will be using a flat 5 (Aluma uses the round 5 from the factory). The trailer has 6 wires: Red, Green, yellow, brown, white and black. According to Aluma the plug is as follows. (see bottom left of diagram )

Red=brake
Green=right turn
yellow=left turn
brown=running
white=ground.

How ever when I look at the plug diagram directly above it shows black as ground and does not mention the white wire. Then the wire diagram dose not mention black. Can someone make this simple for me?

Black is ground on my MXT. Everything else is as stated.
However, I have a sixth blue wire. No idea what it's for.

I'd love to help ... but me and tricity don't get along ... unless you're looking for burnt screwdriver tips ....

I call it accidental welding ...

Thanks Mike. I've sent an e-mail to Aluma customer service. Hopefully they will get back with me Monday morning.

Since you are getting "professional" help ... my timeout is wired like you show.

Okay, okay, don't give me grief, but take a look at this thread on a different forum.

I had actually read that prior to posting my question. It pretty much repeats what I have said. Guess I'll just have to wait to hear from Aluma....

And the answer is: "You are correct on what each color is used for. The black would be unused. The wiring harness manufacture uses a 6 wire cable to make this harness for us so there is an unused wire."
