towbar wiring rear sensors fog light ? HELP

Featured Replies

just fitter a tow bar to my mk1 2002 elegance octavia and have a few questions

(while the bumper was of fitted genuine rear sensors kit and it works fine with tow bar )

1st do i need a relay for the black plug?(lights)

2nd is the fog light just on the right side if so why is there two filiments on the left bulb and no connection (looking at the car from the rear) seems straingh?

can any one direction me in the right direction to any pages then please

On my 2001 Mk1 the feeds are taken straight of the cables going to the light cluster - no black boxes or relays required

The only additional bit needed is a buzzer (or tell tale led) to tell you the trailer indicators are working - legal requirement.

Regarding the fog light - the UK law only requires one (either central or to the right of the car) hence why the other isn't wired in.

There certainly isn't on my Elegance - I don't think it came in until the Mk2
