  • welcome back to the channel
    in this episode I finally complete the tow bar installation by connecting and testing the wiring loom, showing the connection to the vans body control module and to the new style 13pin socket
    this is the electrical wiring kit I got from eBay
    www.ebay.co.uk/itm/2849008876...
    and i had the trailer board from Leisure Mart
    leisure-mart.co.uk/shop/vclos...
    I think I've coded this in correctly and everything seems to work but if anyone knows different please leave a comment

      @@paulsprojects1 Hey Paul, just starting and first hurdle is how to access the wiring conduit thats under the cab floor? I cant seem to see how to do it - any help most welcome!

    Thanks for showing the location of the BCM. I need to find a + or - feed from the reverse switch (under gear lever gator I believe). Finding the wire at BCM seems an easier job than removing plastic trim around gear lever. Can you tell me which wire and which plug receives a + or - from the reverse switch?

      tbh this was a year ago and I've not had a need to look under there since, i don't have the schematics for the loom unfortunately so not sure which wires you're looking for sorry, i just followed the instructions given with the kit

      I think you are missing something in the coding as now I have a front assist unavailable warning ⚠️ did you solve this ?

    No intro, but this seems a nightmare job to wire a tow bar. I fitted a tebas7 relay and just tapped into the wires at the left rear. Am I missing something that explains why this kit is a good solution?

      tbh i just bought the kit as it was a dedicated fit for the van, tow bars are a lot more complex that they used to be thats for sure
