Its in the trunk of my Interstate and its not letting the right brake light work. It doesnt have a brand name on it. Some type of tail light module. By the arrows, it looks like it was made 12/97

Sorry, I shoulda put what it does.  Its hooked up to the blinkers to make the Trunk lights work as blinkers also. I just dont know what it is called or who makes it.

I'm just guessing without knowing which end goes to the trunk lights. if the lights go from the black trailer style plug to the interstate lights  it is a 5-4 convertor.

The other way around and it would be a vehicle to vehicle tail light convertor.  It takes your converted 4 wire signal-the trailer plug- and converts it back to a 5 wire signal.   Here's a different one:

You have to follow the wires to know what style of convertor you will need to replace the defective one.

Not much help but it's all I got.

EDIT:  The more I look at the picture it looks like a 5 to 4 convertor.  The 4 wire connector with the extended hood is a bit unusual and is confusing me a bit.
