New Wiring Harness - need help!
My wife backed into an especially hard snow bank over the winter and the result is that the 7-pin wiring harness needs to be replaced. But, I am having problems.
I'm having a number of issues, but the first and foremost is that I can't seem to get the circuit tester to work properly. I have an automotive circuit tester. I am connecting the alligator clip to various points (the hitch, the frame under the truck, etc...) in order to ground it, and then using the tester on the leads of the harness - I get no signal on any of them. When connected to the trailer the lights are working properly, so I know there is power and function, but I am doing something wrong with the tester.
I want to make sure this circuit tester is working properly before I cut the wires and start marking functionality in order to wire the new harness. If anyone has any sense of what I am doing wrong, I would greatly appreciate the insight.
Thanks!
