I have attached a universal relay but the towbar lights do not work?? see image

There is power but lights do not work?

Do i need to add something? help!

Just to confirm I have fitted the towbar and wiring as stated on the products i brought to do this.

is this the problem?? - multiplexed CAN bus electrical system.

I need a cheap quick solution.

Fitted a maypole one to my old Seat and no probs. Similar age of car plus can bus. If your getting 12v to relay then maybe check your getting a good earth. On the maypole one there is only a live feed and the earth is on the car side section of relay. Check the trailer socket wiring again especially earth as its fairly easy to trap insulation rather than copper cable. I would also check car socket with multimeter in case theres a problem with the trailer lights.
