You won't need them if you are replacing a bad harness. They are there because the fuses and relays won't be in the panel if you didn't get the factory tow package.

Relays are for trailer tow battery charge and trailer tow backup lights.
Fuses are for same if they aren't already there.

My truck has the factory tow package. I had to fix my taillight wire before the connector. Everything after that is trash.

Got the harness installed. Still didnt work. It was the damn fuses under the hood!!! But NOW they work. But....... when I turn on blinkers they all dim and kinda flash. Hit the brakes and the damn near go out. What can cause this? Thanks!

You sure that the truck and trailer are wired to match?

It should not be far from the cable end and should be attached to the chassis.
