7 way plug to flat 4
I'm thinking about buying a trailer tomorrow with a 7-way plug. At the moment my tow vehicle only has a flat-4 connector. The trailer weighs less than my vehicles hitch rating, and also weighs less than the weight where trailer brakes are required. Until I get a brake controller installed in my vehicle, will it work to run a wire from the ground on my flat-4 to the ground in the 7 plug, a wire from the left signal in my flat 4 to the left signal in the 7 plug etc? I understand I will lose the other functions of a 7 plug, but I will not need them for the short trip I am making.
