What are they doing?

Easiest way is to test each line with an earthed test light. Start with the park lights turned on, find that wire and mark it then work your way through them till you get to the brakes, it,ll be the one left over (otherwise you need two people for that one). In terms of the lights, top one is the blinker, middle is the brake and park light (dual element bulb) bottom is reverse light. the test light is just a bulb with wires soldered on one clamped to earth, the other is your test lead.

oh and the skinny black ones are earth leads that go to the clip on the inner wing behind the rubber.
