The standard WW2 trailer connector has 4 connections:
Ground
Service
Service Stop
(Electric Brakes)
The pink wire is the ground out of white, green and black - go figure...?
Most only have the 3 wires (no brakes). The switch to BO conditions was done
with a switch on the trailer.
Hope this helps

PS: Mine are all right stop, left stop, ground and service. This is so I can
have directionals
