13 pin socket wiring

Featured Replies

I've seen quite a few threads asking questions about tow bar wiring but not found the specific detail I need.

 

I have an SE Estate from March 2014 with tow bar prep. We fitted the Westfalia tow bar and 7 pin kit which is really easy with the tow bar prep. 

 

I have now bought a caravan and am upgrading the electrics to 13 pin. The key difference from the 7 pin kit to the 15 pin kit (on pre June 2014 cars) is the pair of cables which need to be run to the front of the car for the live feed and for the control line. However, the instructions are very vague about exactly where they should be connected. 

 

Question is, has anyone done this and can provide any more detail or photos for the connections of these cables at the front of the car?

 

Thanks

I'm pretty sure they should be connected to the fuse board. Have you had a look to see if there is an officially allocated position for these wires.

 

The 13-pin kit also gives you reversing lights which you don't get on 7-pin.
