Tow socket layout

[VAGGAZ]

Hi

I have been fitting a towbar and electrics today and was getting on well until I fitted the socket! I was removing the wiring socket from the tow socket and the bloody casing came undone and now I have 10 wires and I want to make sure they go back in the right place in the socket! It is a genuine set. I have pushed them back into the socket and it felt like they went in ok but I was wondering big anyone has a layout?

Google is your friend there, they should all be pretty much the same.

Thanks but I seem to have different colour wires to the standard 13 pin socket

I have 10 wires altoghter and I might have the socket wiring holder rotated wrong. Does anyone know what numbers are blank? I think I have 10,11,12 with no wires in at the moment

This shows why 10, 11 & 12 on yours is not wired up.

I have no idea but having 10, 11 & 12 empty makes sense.
If I was not sure I would use an electrical tester to check that the correct power is going to each pin.
Are you using a genuine Skoda kit or a generic relay sort?
Also are you getting the car coded with VCDS or similar so stability control, security etc are coded into the car?

Yes being coded with VCDS

You can buy a plug-in tester than will confirm each circuit.

I have sorted it now found wiring diagram on all data and it was all in correct place!
