You need to look at the plug and work out what wires do what. I would imagine you would have 3- 5 pins that would normally connect to a vehicle: 1.Ground 2. tail lights on 3. brake lights on 4. left indicator light on 5. right indicator light on With the multimeter (or the battery and two wires- if your brave) you just need to work out what wires do what. Unless you can see the lights, with connecting up the meter/battery to the pins, your gona need a freind to help you or a mirror!. Becareful not to short the battery out- as it could explode!. connecting a fuse, you need to workout what the amp draw will be on the overall circuit. i guess no more than 10amps. If you want the indicator lights to flash,then youll need to get the correct rated flasher relay and a switch.
