CDRIVE Posted May 12, 2012 Report Posted May 12, 2012 Hello everyone, I'm looking for some help with fitting a towbar to my 2007 galaxy. So far I have fitted the towbar and brought a new ford relay ( part no. 1461398) and wiring harness 7 pin socket (part no. 1506737) from ebay (someone brought it by mistake) but it didnt come with any instuctions :-( The wiring harness has some wires that I need help fitting 1. thick red wire which I have connected to the rear fusebox with 30 rate fuse2. brown wire and blue/black wire with eye connectors that I'm guessing are earth and bolt onto the cars body.3. a blue and black wire that connect into the green connector but not sure which one as there are two holes. I have tried both holes in the green connector but no joy.I'm guessing do I need to get it activated by ford or will some of it work straight away, like the lights? Can anybody help with the about fitting or have a copy of the instruction. Quote

gregers Posted May 12, 2012 Report Posted May 12, 2012 blind stag m8. what i was told when i had 1 fitted to the wifes smax was that it had to be programed by law so that the sounder would work. Quote
daveg Posted January 13, 2013 Report Posted January 13, 2013 HI does this programming requirement apply to the mk2 as well? i wanted to fit a towbar to my 51 plate tdi 1.9 zetek. I was wondering about getting from a breakers and wiring it in myself and wondered if someone had already done this. Or maybe getting a new one from towequipe or similar company eg http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/NEW-FLANGE-TOWBAR-FOR-FORD-GALAXY-1995-TO-2006-Free-P-P-/290343021633. going to a main dealer could be more expensive and would like to avoid if possible!! thanks dg.
