Using a Circuit Tester from Wiring Harness Kit to Determine Wire Connections on 2019 Hyundai Tucson
Question:
My Tuscan isn’t set up the way you described above. I have the tail and brake together and a separate light for the turn signal. Also, everything in the back of the vehicle is either plastic or painted. How do I get a ground? Each light has two wires I don’t know which one to use.

The 4-Pole Trailer Connector and Installation Kit # C59496 comes with a basic circuit tester that has an alligator clip on one end that connects to a ground like the metal frame on your vehicle. Then you will use the sharp point to insert into the wire connection while you run one lighting function at a time. The LED bulb will light to reflect the function it sees on that wire. You can see this in the attached video at the 2:00 mark.
The green wire will connect to the passenger side turn signal, the yellow wire to the driver side turn signal, the brown to the running light on either side. The red wire if you have a separate stop lamp bulb will connect to that wire and if not will connect to ground on your vehicle frame to tell the module you have combined turn and stop wires. I've attached a video to assist.
