brake controller & "fog" lights....

[Steve George]

Thanx guys

I'll probably try to rewire the connector that's on there to match the
trailer (I still have the "pin out" for that). The schematic shows
which wire goes where on the receptacle end, as long as BB followed
their own color codes (which I haven't found they've done anywhere so
far)
