Default Cobra trailer wiring diagram

Is there a softcopy someone can send me? ... or any helpful reference?

The running lights on my 2002 Cobra work properly but I get strange
results with the turn signals, testing with three different tow
vehicles.

Are there any caveats I should be aware of in using 6-way-round to 4-
way-flat and 4-way-flat to 7-way-blade adapters for the trailer? (I've
never been able to find a 6-to-7 adapter. One of my tow vehicles is an
RV with 6-way round, and my trailer has 7-way blade. I've found 7-
to-6, but not 6-to-7, appropriately gendered.)

Turn signals are blinking brake lights?

Indeed, the first thing I do when I get hold of a Cobra trailer is take
the tail light covers off, and swap the leads (no cutting or soldering
required) for the turn and brake lights. As delivered, the brake lights
are on a common circuit, and the turn lights are amber, so you can't
get the 4-way "US standard trailer" combined red brake and turn signals
without doing this swap...

Dave,

The Cobra site has diagrams for 7-pins and 13-points. My Cobra has a 7-
pin blade connector, which according to my on-site engineer says is
wired incorrectly compared to the diagram.

Has anyone changed the Cobra 7-pin setup to a 4-pin? My last Cobra
trailer had a 4-pin flat connector. I'm wondering if I should switch
it to that.

I have done that on my Komet trailer. See

Ted - The Cobra trailer can be ordered with the European standard
connector (big round connector with big round pins), or a USA RV
common trailer connector (blade pins, round connector). Perhaps
yours is the latter ? Is this trailer as new or has it been rewired ?

See ya, Dave
