Okay, I am completely frustrated with trying to wire my Cherokee with a 7 pin plug and then make the trailer match. So far I have found TWO different ways to wire a 7 pin plug. Both are different and I am not sure which is the correct way. On top of this, I have a '98 Chevy C1500 which has a factory 7 pin and works fine with the trailer but I don't have the wiring code for it.
Here are the different links to the 2 different ways.

The "plug" part that the wiring from the rig connects to in the plug housing matches the last two. The 7 pin molded trailer connector and wiring pig tail also matches the last two.
HELP! I have no idea which is the "standard" that will also match my Chevy. Any ideas guys???
For reference my rig is wired through a junction box with the following codes,
White = Ground
Brown = Running Lights
Yellow = Left Turn/Stop
Green = Right Turn/Stop
Blue = Trailer Brakes (for future trailer brakes)
Red = 12v Fused from Battery (for trailer battery charging)
Black = Reverse Lights (not used on trailer at this time)
