I've followed advice and had the bypass relay removed and a wiring kit fitted. It hasn't been returned yet but I'm hopeful it'll remedy the fault as the technician has been recommended.

The fitting is still under guarantee, is it best to have the by-pass removed? Will that remove the problem? Thanks for all the advice. I'll have it checked out but forewarned is forearmed.

Thanks, I don't have your skills but it's good to know. I'll try to find someone who does.

In January I had a towbar fitted. At the time I didn't have a trailer but when I did attach one some of the lights on the trailer didn't work and the rear nearside side light on the car went out after a few seconds. I had the car checked by a Skoda dealer who said the towbar electrics were at fault. The guy who fitted the tow bar came back and fitted a 'bypass', which seemed to do the trick. However now I can't turn the headlights off, even when the trailer isn't attached. As soon as I turn on the ignition the headlights come on, low beam and so do the rear side lights. The front side lights don't come on now and I don't have any parking lights. When the trailer is fitted and I press the brakes the side lights on the trailer glow more brightly but the brake lights don't work. Can anyone tell me what's going on?
