Were to access tail light wiring harness 2008 Denali Envot

I want to tow my vehicle in a dolly and use the existing vehicle lights. I've found a website that sells a diode block for just this purpose. They give the following info as to determining which wiring diagram to use:
Type B: Vehicles with separate amber or red signals (Brake
light wire splits before the lights).
Type C: Vehicles with separate amber or red signals (One
brake light wire comes out of the other brake light
socket).
NOTE: In the wiring systems type B and C, the amber
signals will only operate from the towed vehicles system.
The red brake lights will function as turn signals when
operated from the towing vehicle.
What I need to know is what configuration the Envoy would use (B or C) and exactly where in/on the vehicle that the wiring harness comes together to place the diode block?

2007 Yukon Xl Denali can the headlight switch/dimmer cause only the tail lights to not work. Dash lights, signals, brake lights when pressed work. Both sides went out. No blown fuse or broken wires.

If front park lights are working highly unlikely headlight switch is the issue. Is the vehicle equipped with a trailer towing package and wiring to the rear? I would start there. This vehicle may also have a taillight module located under the vehicle on the passenger rear attached in the wheel well area that goes bad

I'm trying to wire my 89 jeep wrangler to be towed useing it's existing lights.the turn signals both flash when right or left is on? I've tryed it under the dash with no luck now all the way...

If the brake and turn signal are on the same bulb than you can Orin straight wiring. If the brake and turn signal are on different bulbs than you'll need a wiring harness with a converter box. I'm pretty sure the wrangler has the brake and turn signal on the Same bulb so let's start with basic trailer wiring. The green wire on the trailer harness is for the right side turn and brake for the trailer. This wire should be attached to the wire on the vehicle that supplies power to the right turn signal/ brake light. The yellow wire is the left turn signal, brake light on the trailer and should be attached to the wire on the vehicle that supplies power to the left turn signal /brake light. The brown wire is the tail lights on the trailer and should be attached to either the left or right side wire on the vehicle that supplies power to the tail lights. The white wire is grounD and it is vitally important that this wire be attached to the vehicle in a manor that supplies a good ground. Failure to suppy a good ground will result in all kinds of funky problems with the trailerer lighting such as all the lights linking when the tail lights and turn signals are on at the same time. If you have any specific questions I will be more than happy to try and help. Good luck.

It was wired for a 4 wire flat trailer plug. the plug was ripped off and now there are wires coming from both tail lights and the drive lights on rear passenger and trailer dont work. Green, Black, brown/w...

You need to install a 3-2 wire converter. I suggest a CURT 56175 then
1.Using a test lamp, identify the corresponding wires in the harness for the left turn, right turn, tail lights and brake lights. 3. Temporarily remove the vehicle's negative battery cable from the battery. 4. Using wire taps, attach the input wires of the tail light converter to the corresponding vehicle harness wires identified in step 2 as indicated.
Converter Brown Wire: Tail Light Circuit Converter Yellow Wire: Left Turn Circuit Converter Red Wire: Brake Light Circuit Converter Green Wire: Right Turn Circuit
5. Locate a suitable mounting location for the ground eyelet on the vehicle near the converter on vehicle's frame or cross member.
And your ready to tow!

99 yukon denali drivers side turn signal in rear tail light not working, i replaced bulb and still nothing, I looked at the connections and wires and found nothing, front turn signal blinks fast, passenger...

The circuit board needs to be replaced. Which is the board that the bulbs sit in. If you remove the turn signal bulb. You will notice the bulb socket will be slightly burnt inside. I had the same problem with my 99 Denali and replaced the circuit board for $35.00. Now everything is fine.

I am towing the Rodeo with a car dollie. How do I hook up the brake lights?

The very simplest thing to do is put a light bar on the Rodeo and not mess with its wiring harness. Wire the light bar through a plug that matches your towing venicle outlet.

A light bar is also much more visable.

Just a thought.

Thanks for your interest in FixYa.com

Where do i feed the wires through to wire up the towbar on a 1997 honda crv?

If you have a wired tow hitch on your car you will need to mate this to the wiring harness on the tow bar. If the two wired units do not match then you will either need an adapter or will need to rewire the tow dolly or the car. If the car doesn't have a tow light unit installed you will need to install one that will mate to the tow bar light unit.

I hope this helps - please rate me

No power to tail light on trailer- 2004 Dodge durango factory tow

If this is a factory light harness for the trailer hookup on your Caravan. Look under the hood for a fuse box. Many 2000+ vehicles have this with separate fuses just for the trailer lights.

Hello--- can I tow a 2000 AWD volvo wagon with a dolly? Thanks!

Um...no...in order to tow you need rated tow-cable or shock absorbing chains or a tow hitch. you would also need hazard lights that also show which way the towed vehicle is turning (ppl cant see the towing car's turn signals) usually there are magetics ones that hook up to the towing cars trailer light system.
Safe towing by LAW is the issue here...could you tow it with a dolly...yes...but is it against the law..YES and the LAW protects you from hurting yourself,others, and property.
I hope this answers your question. and please be safe. (dont do it)

Tow bar trailer socket wiring connection point to car wiring?

The connectors for towing wire harnesses on foresters are generally on the passenger side, below the rear taillight inside the cargo space. some require pulling up the foam block that is between the spare tire compartment and the taillight. Check where you replace the tailights from inside the car, if there isn't a matching connector hanging out there, check around the spare tire compartment, see if you can remove the carpeted foam block next to the compartment and find the plug under there.

Need to install lighting harness to tow my 2008 Malibu with RV

The tail lamps will have to be removed first of all. You will need a test light to check all wires to see which one is for what usage. Have a friend to operate the switches inside while you test each wire and mark the wires with tape for what they are used for. Signal lamps must be marked for which side. Brake lights make no difference as so for back up lamps. The directions are incorporated with the 4 way flashers
