airbox Posted October 5, 2012 Report Posted October 5, 2012 I fitted a witter towbar yesterday. Very easy to fit and a good piece of kit. I got one with a detachable ball and am very pleased with it. The plastic bumper is not supported quite so well as the towbar necessitates the removal of the beam inside the bumper and the two supports that are provided are not brilliant but apart from that it is very good. I wired it up using a bypass relay as advised, taking the power from the rear power socket. My problem is that I don't know which wire is the fog light feed. The actual fog lights have grey/white wires to them but the wires running up the back of the car to the hatch do not have a grey/white wire amongst them. Short of stripping out the interior trim on the hatch to see where the colour change is I do not know which wire to Tee into. I am not too bothered as my trailer doesn't have fog lights but I would like to wire it up. Can anyone help please? Quote
airbox Posted October 5, 2012 Author Report Posted October 5, 2012 ok thanks. What side of the vehicle please? Quote
chrispb123456 Posted October 5, 2012 Report Posted October 5, 2012 Rear fog light wiring enters the tailgate on the right side, so would say right hand side. Quote
airbox Posted October 6, 2012 Author Report Posted October 6, 2012 thanks, will have to run the wire over to that side. will use a pin and meter to check I've got the right wire. thanks again. Quote
airbox Posted October 14, 2012 Author Report Posted October 14, 2012 still can't locate the fog light wire!! Tried both sides and tested wires I thought looked the one but still no joy. I need a wiring diagram with the colours or someone who knows which wire!! Quote
SilverBeast Posted October 14, 2012 Report Posted October 14, 2012 Add your vehicle, model and variant to your signature so we can tell which make, MK and engine type you have. This will make searching for yoy info easier for Forum members who wish to help. Wiring varies for MK, Engine type and trim level (and probably manufacturer). This may not be the case for Fog Light wiring but if you want a fast answer give as much info as possible. Quote
chrispb123456 Posted October 14, 2012 Report Posted October 14, 2012 As said in previous post, grey from lighting switch to the connector in R/H D pillar then grey/white to each lamp Quote
airbox Posted October 14, 2012 Author Report Posted October 14, 2012 tried the grey one in the right hand side, wasn't it. There were a couple of thin grey wires but I don't think is the right one. cheers anyway Quote
airbox Posted October 14, 2012 Author Report Posted October 14, 2012 also if the connector is one of the ones that are in the right hand side down near the floor level, there are no grey/white ones from it going up to the tailgate and I am pretty sure ther are no other connectors!! Quote
chrispb123456 Posted October 14, 2012 Report Posted October 14, 2012 Am going to have a look at mine when the daughter comes back with it, will let you know. Quote
chrispb123456 Posted October 14, 2012 Report Posted October 14, 2012 Right update just been out to the car with a torch, 3 plugs right hand side below light cluster, 1 black 1 pink 1 brown.Look at the brown plug 1 grey wire from loom 1 grey and white going to tailgate and that's exactly how it shows it in the wiring diagram Quote
airbox Posted October 14, 2012 Author Report Posted October 14, 2012 ok cheers, will have another look in daylight! Quote
