I'm a little unclear here- the solenoid would be mounted at the car end of the charging line, up front under the tug's hood. Are you saying that there's no charging line from the tow vehicle to the trailer? Is there an electric brake line, now that I think about it?
I ask because I think factory wiring on the Caravan was only for trailer lights, and would use a simple four flat connector. Any other functions would have to have been added on, and use a six or, more commonly, a seven pole connector. Could be wrong about that, depending on year/model.
Don't be sorry because maybe I'm unclear myself!! :B
My 2014 Caravan truly come with a 7 pins harness from factory with an electric brake output, only the brake controller is not included from factory, but the van is pre-wired to install it (blue brake wires already inside the vehicle under the dash). What I mean is the main power wire that goes to the trailer 7 pins connector is not accessible inside my Caravan engine bay. The trailer power wire that goes from the towing vehicle engine bay to the 7-pins is integrated inside the vehicle main power harness. I can probably found which wire goes to the 7-pins plug behind, but it's a P.I.T.A. to mess with the factory wires because everything is sealed with electrical tape and wire loom!
In my previous vehicle I had a brake controller wiring I add myself. All wires were easily visible inside engine bay since they were hooked directly on the battery positive terminal using circuit breaker. But in my van it's all part of the vehicle main fuse box.
