To replace the tail light harness on your 1988 Chevy truck, first, locate the connector along the frame, typically found near the rear of the vehicle. If you find a connector, unplug it to detach the old harness. If there's no accessible connector, you may need to trace the wires back to the fuse box and disconnect them directly. Make sure to disconnect the battery before starting the replacement to avoid any electrical shorts.

To hook up trailer lights on a 2008 Honda Element, you'll need a trailer wiring harness compatible with your vehicle. First, locate the vehicle's wiring harness, typically found under the rear bumper on the driver's side. Connect the harness to the corresponding wires (usually following a color-coded diagram) and secure it with electrical tape or connectors. Finally, plug in the trailer's connector to the harness and test the lights to ensure proper functionality.
To test a trailer harness with a multimeter, first ensure the vehicle is connected to the trailer and that the vehicle's lights are on. Set the multimeter to measure DC voltage and probe the appropriate pins on the trailer connector based on the wiring diagram for the harness. Activate the turn signals, brakes, and running lights one at a time to check for the correct voltage at each pin. If the readings match the expected values, the harness is functioning properly; if not, there may be a fault in the harness or vehicle wiring.
A malfunction of a group of devices like that can be the result of one or more failed fuses, or a loose wire-harness connector, or a wire harness that got pinched so that a few wires in it broke.
I have read that you need a "powered" wiring harness because the Elantra routes the tail lights through a computer that cannot handle the extra amperage necessary to drive a trailer's lights. A powered harness connects directly to the battery for power and taps the tail-light wires to control relays.
The daytime running lights are the low beam lights run by a specific circuit. If they don't work then check your fuses and then the wiring harness for damage.

intermitten problems are the worst to figure out i would first start by changing the bulbs then i would change the wiring harness. i know i had a car that when the tail lights were on the blinkers wouldn't work and it turned out to be a short in the harness.
It sounds like the wiring harness has been disconnected or severed. Start at the lights and work back along the wires until you find the connector. If you don't find a problem between the lights and the connector, it may be further towards the front of the car.
To replace a fog light bulb on a 2005 Chrysler Pacifica, start by turning off the vehicle and opening the hood.
