Yes you need one brown and one blue relay in those two positions. Buy it here from U_Haul instead of the dealer. U-Haul wants $20-$25 for a set of three (2 blue 1 brown), dealer will get double-triple that.

My trailer connectors are all up inside the fender, so I can't just look or take a picture. I think this is correct for the truck wiring colors.

The colors for the wires for the connector you buy will vary by brand. For Hoppy (Hopkins Mfg.) take a look at this.

Of course it would help to test each wire as you connect it up to plug, a 12v test light is good for this.

Good luck.
