The way to plug in the harness depends on the type of harness that you have. Some are designed to unplug a connector then insert the harness inline with the wiring. Some require a special connector that clamps on the side of the wires, while others require wires to be cut and spliced together.
Not all trucks are built with a trailer harness plug. If you can not find one, then your truck does not have one and you need to install one.
Subarus all have a connector for a trailer wiring harness built in. There is a supplemental trailer harness that you purchase from your hitch supplier and it just plugs right in. Instructions are available on-line. This one is for a 2001, but they have been the same for a number of years.
Yes. Check the fuse/relay center under the hood.
Yes, on a 2001 Tacoma it was a blown 5 amp fuse in the separate harness dedicated to the trailer lights. I did not realize Toyota Tacoma's came with a separate harness and fuse block just for the trailer lights/harness (this is separate from the under dash (#1) and under hood (#2). On a 2001 Tacoma , it located underneath the driver's side rear jump seat next to the factory tire jack.
Under the middle of the rear bumper between the spare tire and the bumper there will be some wiring zip tied to the frame. Cut the zip tie and pull down the wiring. Depending on what type of harness you are using there may be some wires that you will not use. It is also suggested that you disconnect the battery before doing this.
walmart $6.95!!!

pretty sure the police department will help you fine that wiring harness.
Follow the directions for installing a 7-way trailer wiring harness found atwww.etrailer.com/faq-wiring.aspx. I usually don't like do-it-yourself projects, but Advance Auto Parts sells a kit with color-coded wires that made it an easy project.
In the floor cover behind the drivers seat (turn the knob on the cover & lift it out) you'll see some inline fuse holders in the wiring harness........... one of them is the trailer brake lights Good Luck !!!
You need to purchase the add on harness from the dealer. This harness plugs into one of the junction blocks located under the driver's side of dash above your left foot area. The other end of the harness attaches to your trailer brake controler. The trailer brake "blue" wire in back is folded back and tucked in the rear harness on the left side of the rear frame rail. You may have to drop the spare tire to expose it and connect it to the trailer connector plug.
Under the hood, under the dash, in the doors, under the seats, and in the trunk. The wiring harness connects all the electrical components in the car.
