Electrical problem
2006 Chevy Silverado V8 Four Wheel Drive Automatic

I need to re wire the 7 pin trailer wiring plug on my silverado. I have 8 wires for the harness and have figured out the turn signals, reverse and tail lights but what are the other 4 wires? The colors I have are: 3- 10ga; red, black,dark blue and 5- 16ga; brown, light bue, dark green, light green, yellow.

I really apreciate the info. Just to make sure I've got it right. The dark blue 10ga will go to the electric brake hook-up on the socket and the red 10ga. will go to the fused battery lead on the socket. I guess the only other question I would have is, in the wiring there is a light blue 16ga. wire that only has power with the brakes applied. I had assumed this would splice into a lead for the brake lights but, there is'nt one on the socket. What do I do with that wire? Thanks again.
