Fitting a towbar for a caravan with 13pin europlug

Need diagrams or idents for wiring a 13 pin socket on my landrover to tow a caravan. I have purchased the socket, TEB7AS relay, 30a fuseholder etc from indespension but no diagram was supplied. I am aware that I need to run a 30a fused supply, via 3mm cable, directly from the car battery to the relay. The relay has 7 connections and im unsure where to connect to and from.

Pleeeaaase help.

Black socket, black 7 core wire
pin 1 yellow left indicator
pin 2 blue, rear fog light
pin 3 white earth
pin 4 green right indicator
pin 5 brown right side/tail light
pin 6 red brake lights
pin 7 black left side/tail light

Grey socket grey 7 core wiring
pin 1 yellow, reverse
pin 2 blue, supplementary feed (ignition)
pin 3 white, earth
pin 4 green live feed (battery +)
pin 5 brown not connected
pin 6 red supplementary feed (ignition)
Pin 7 black earth

On the discovery there is a purpose made plug behind the panel on the drivers side rear, behind the rear lamp
i think the relay you have bought is for lamp failure you just need a normal 4 pin 30 amp relay.
Good luck Davelee

How to fit a westfalia specific towbar wiring kit to a bmw e 60?

Hi,

Send an email to me at [email protected] and I will send you 2 installation PDF's for a 7 pin and 13 pin Jaeger cable. Please be aware that you do need a car specific cable set for a BMW E-60. This cable set includes CAN-bus modules. You cannot simply make taps on existing wiring as this will impact the BMW's fault diagnosis system.

I need wiring diagram for 1995 ford ranger XLT i need to hook up trailer lights

Unfortunately this model has separate filaments for the stop and turn signals. You will need to use an adapter relay to hookup a standard trailer plug or you will need a trailer that also uses this wiring setup. The first diagram below indicates there my be a trailer adapter for the turn signals at the base of the steering column. The wire colors at the bulbs are as follows:
tail/running lights: brown
stop: light green
left turn: light green/white stripe
right turn: white/light blue stripe
back up: black/pink stripe
ground: black

Please let me know if you have questions.

Need instruction on fitting & wiring a towbar on my 1992 Mecedes 190E, 2ltr petrol Automatic

Hi there, the wiring sequence that I have is for the UK, I dont know where you are but I hope this helps
pin 1 Yellow L/H direction Indicator (turn Lamp)
pin 2 Blue Rear Fog Lamps
pin 3 White Earth Return
pin 4 Green R/H direction indicator (turn Lamp)
pin 5 Brown R/H Tail Lamp & No. Plate Lamp
pin 6 Red Stop Lamps
pin 7 Black L/H Tail Lamp & No. Plate lamp

you will have to trace the wires from the wiring loom and light clusters off the car to splice in the towbar wires which is quite easy, the chassis should have location points for the bracket, just make sure that the tow hitch is central and not obscuring the number/license plate..
Good Luck.

Tow bar trailer socket wiring connection point to car wiring?

The connectors for towing wire harnesses on foresters are generally on the passenger side, below the rear taillight inside the cargo space. some require pulling up the foam block that is between the spare tire compartment and the taillight. Check where you replace the tailights from inside the car, if there isn't a matching connector hanging out there, check around the spare tire compartment, see if you can remove the carpeted foam block next to the compartment and find the plug under there.
