Expert Reply:
If your tow vehicle has a 3 wire system, this means the vehicle's turn, brake and tail light function are on separate wires. When installing the Vehicle Wiring Harness # C59496 referenced in your question, you will use the following connections:
The yellow wire will go to the left turn wire.
The green wire will go to the vehicle right turn wire.
The brown wire will go to the vehicle tail light wire.
The red wire will go to the vehicle brake wire.
I have attached the full installation details that you can also look through to help with installation.
