GBMUD Posted March 4, 2010 Share Posted March 4, 2010 Can anyone help? I need to remove the wires and pins from this plug (which is the LR original plug-in towing electrics) so that I can replace the corroded and broken original wires and fit a proper colour coded (trailer colours) cable and socket. I know I could buy new but I would rather mend this one. So, how do the pins come out? I assume I just need to stick a thin wire down one of the holes next to the pins, anyone done this before? These are the colours of wire that LR used for the trailer socket. I assume that these correspond to the LR wiring loom colours for different things? Anyone know which is which? I think I have some sorted, black I know is earth. A wiring diagram for a 2004 Defender would no doubt help... Thanks Chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lewis Posted March 4, 2010 Share Posted March 4, 2010 I have a note of the LR loom colours to seven pin iso colours at work for a 2004 td5 90. Will post up later for you Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Due to my impatient nature I have now worked out how to get the wires/pins out. You have to pull out the orange insert (pliers) and it then reveals the pin locking mechanism, small screwdriver and away! Now I just have to resist removing more than one wire before I knacker it up by forgetting which colour wire was where! Cheers Chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lewis Posted March 4, 2010 Share Posted March 4, 2010 I did try to reply earlier but opera mini on my phone doesn't like the new forum and wont allow me to log in. Anyway, colours are as follows, iso then LR Pin 1 Yellow, Green/red Pin 2 Blue, Red/yellow Pin 3 White, Black Pin 4 Green, Green/white Pin 5 Brown, Red/orange Pin 6 Red, Green/purple Pin 7 Black, Red/black This diagram may help, ignore the bracketed info its for caravan secondary wiring Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My log trailer has none of the items listed on the diagram linked though. Chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

steve200TDi Posted March 27, 2020 Share Posted March 27, 2020 It should be tucked under the panel in the drivers side rear wheel arch which covers the rear lights. Steve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
