Re: Tow bar wiring

Turns out the kit they sent me only fits up to 2011 model, not 2012 (as it was advertised!). So, this explains why it has been such a head wreck to install. Thanks for everyone's help. Hopefully the correct part will be easier to install

Re: Tow bar wiring

This is all the wiring I've been given. The white plug fits in the ECU so I assumed I was looking for a plug in the car that fits the brown plugs. I have followed the wiring all the way back to the dashboard. The only place I haven't looked in under the passenger seat as it seems some wires go off t...

Re: Tow bar wiring

I did find about 3 plugs along the wheel arch under a panel. One of them turned off the left indicator when unplugged but the wiring I've been supplied with doesn't fit in that plug. Maybe I have been sent the incorrect wiring harness?

Re: Tow bar wiring

So I ended up removing the back seat incase it was there but it's not. Unless the plug is hiding somewhere under the carpet in the rear seats, I can't figure out where else it would be because the cable isn't long enough to go too much closer to the front

Re: Tow bar wiring

It has a grommet to run it outside, just not caught in the photo. I called a towbar shop and they seemed to think I'd have to remove one of the seats to access the plug. Does that sound right?

Re: Tow bar wiring

I've removed the left boot trims but there's no plugs that fit the same as the wiring harness. Do I need to remove the rear bumper bar to access it?
This is a photo of the wiring harness and the wires just behind the rear left wheel arch

Re: Tow bar wiring

I have bought an OEM towbar and wiring kit from an auto wreckers. I've attached the towbar but I can't find where the wiring harness should plug in. It's supposed to be a plug and play kit but not sure where the plugs are hidden in the boot area.
Any help would be appreciated!
