Hi Mrs.C; The four pin plug on your tow vehicle has to be replaced with seven pin connector plug to match the one on your Bambi. Four pin connector serves only one left and one right turn signal. Third wire is used for marker [running lights] and fourth is ground. You need electric brake wire, and backup [reverse] lamps. Some use a seventh wire to bring charge to the trailer battery from tow vehicle's alternator. Be careful and determine wiring code arrangement first. Thanks, "Boatdoc"
