windnwaves Posted July 4, 2010 Share Posted July 4, 2010 Hi, Thanks for reading this... Just fitted a a none genuine towbar to my year 2000 FL. It has just a wire from the tow bar socket to splice into to the vehicle electrics. I have found the (I think !) connector that the genuine LR towbar electrics connect to, I just wondered if anyone can direct me to a "pin out" for the socket.. All the wires are BLACK ! If the connectors are available it would be nice to do the job properly and just plug in rather than "Scotch Lok" Thanks in anticipation Phil Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrKev Posted July 4, 2010 Share Posted July 4, 2010 I read it as the wiring for the socket in the loom, as oppose to the 12N socket. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
windnwaves Posted July 4, 2010 Author Share Posted July 4, 2010 HI, Yes it is the vehicle connector pinout I require not the towbar/ball one but thatnks for posting the PDF, I will save that for future use... Cheers Phil Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
errol209 Posted July 4, 2010 Share Posted July 4, 2010 If the Freelander uses the BS AU7 colours, then: Black - ground Green / red - left indicators Green / white - right indicators Green / brown - reverse lamp Green / purple - stop lamps Red / yellow - fog lamp Red - side and tail lights Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Llanigraham Posted July 4, 2010 Share Posted July 4, 2010 They were the pretty colours on mine!, but I still checked with a test light. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FridgeFreezer Posted July 5, 2010 Share Posted July 5, 2010 I bought a genuine wiring kit on eBay, it was all of £25 ish and just plugged in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
windnwaves Posted July 22, 2010 Author Share Posted July 22, 2010 It's "Me" again, Got the tow bar fitted and wiring sorted. Now I was wondering what I needed to change to make it 100% legal. I have heard that to make a warning light for the indicators work on dashboard you need to swap a relay somewhere ( or do something else ! ). Any suggestions as apparently the boys in blue around my neck of the woods are getting a bit keen on checking 4x4's towing trailers and the finer details.. One or two accidents have happened locally with overloaded or "iffy" trailers so everyone is to blame..... I'm sure that my local LR dealer would help but I would like to check out the cheaper options, once I know what is required, first.. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Llanigraham Posted July 22, 2010 Share Posted July 22, 2010 Now that is really easy..........go to your LR dealer and ask for a Freelander towing relay. I found they were cheaper than a local towing centre!! Remove old one. Plug in new one. Little trailer lights up on dash. Once only when no trailer connected, all the time if trailer working properly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pantherslover Posted July 1, 2018 Share Posted July 1, 2018 Ok on my td5 the trailer icon flashes when ignition turned on. Without indicators. When indicators of hazards in it flashes ass if the trailer is connected. However, i have no trailer. Tut tut tut..... Any ideas? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pantherslover Posted July 1, 2018 Share Posted July 1, 2018 I think i need to remove the trailer wire from the flasher unit as someone had previous done, for good reason. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
