Jocklandjohn Posted September 9, 2021 Share Posted September 9, 2021 Can someone explain the wiring set up for the trailer electrics connection. I know the colours etc its where the connection is to the main loom I need a steer on. Is it all connected into the loom at the point where it arrives at the rear driver's side where the loom comes off the chassis rail and enters the van? I need to replace the wiring I think as the recent connection of a trailer hitch, although it works, has proved to be as dim as a dim thing, so assume the wiring/connections have got corroded (30 years old). Basically just need to know if I start pulling it apart at the back driver side, inside behind the lights am I going to find the connectors or is this all lurking down beneath and behind the fuel tank?

Peaklander Posted September 9, 2021 Share Posted September 9, 2021 I imagine all 110s are the same. Mine is a 1996 SW and the loom is indeed inside at the rear offside corner behind a metal plate, above the top of the wheel box. For any dodgy connections a squirt of electrical contact spray is a good reviver. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However given the state of some other bits of wiring I've come across in the van's bowels I suspect some of the trailer loom might be well past its sell-by date!

Peaklander Posted September 9, 2021 Share Posted September 9, 2021 Use a proper spray such as this one by Servisol, an example is here 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
western Posted September 9, 2021 Share Posted September 9, 2021 If your going in to the trailer wiring it's probably better to replace the 7 core wire & the 12N socket & replace the end terminals. That should keep it going without having to revisit for a while. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jocklandjohn Posted September 9, 2021 Author Share Posted September 9, 2021 Thanks Peaklander and Ralph. My foray into contact cleaners revealed a lot of stuff that's apparenlty pants so its good to get a solid recommendation. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
