I purchased a trailer that has electric trailer brakes. I don't know how to hook up the brakes. The 7 way plug I purchased has only one wire for the electric brakes (blue). Each hub on the trailer (there are 4 of them) has 2 wires coming out the back side. I assume one is the power and one a ground. Do I just splice all the power wire and all the ground wires together and attach them to the power and ground on the plug? Help me out!

If you want the trailer to move, hooking them to the power wire would be a bad idea. They'd be on all the time. You need a little brake controller in the car. The brakes run off the brake light wire, and the controller keeps flashers and turn signals, which use the same wires, from activating the trailer brakes.
