Original Towbar wiring Diagram

NOCTURNAL · 1st August 2011, 20:21

Can someone furnish me with the Original wiring Diagram for the 13 pin Original electrical wiring Diagram please, I failed installing my copy of Rave on the win7 Lappy and have since misslaid it

I've just fitted the 13 pin setup but a it dosent work, and B it cuts out the reversing sensors(WITHOUT) the trailor connected... (its a bike rack actually )

I dont have a meter with me so will have to wait untill after 12 hrs day tomorrow but desperately need to get it working before the weekend ;(

So if someone could help with the right wiring Diagram, or point me to a safe download I'd appreciate it

Thanks..

and replied to , thanks m8

I think its the main feed from the underbonnet fusebox and as the instructions I had were for the old internal fusebbox, theres a possability of a cck-up there, but i definately have no supply from the front , can anyone confirm for me that pin 1 on the pink connector to the underside of the engine fusebox is the pin to the left of the male 'tab' when the tab is on top??

Thanks, I assume these plugs/etc are the same from a numbering point of view, if anyone has a similar 3x 1/4" connector plug...

Thanks..

also found a slight design fault in the loom... they double up the orange/slate wires in a joint that sits under/to the side of the pedestrian carpet, right where the water collects if you have a front leak.... Ho hum... another job for after the holls

you need the orange slate wire feed from the fuse box which in turn connects to a link lead kit which then connects to the tow bar wiring kit

yes m8, i connected the orange/slate from the loom to the supplied plug to engine bay..(need clarification to orientation of this cable and which fuse it is supplied by) then connected the other end to the supplied link-lead black plug...

I have now confirmed tonight with a botched together lamp and testleads lol, that I dont actually have this supply fro the engine bay, so either it is in wrong position on plug, or the fuse is blown(nothing visible)

ive checked my 'taps' into the wiring at rear and they all supply the bmw trailer module ok, but presumeably the lack of 'main supply' means the module isn't passing things on as it should... the relay comes on in the glovebox which is grounded from the lighting module(the other part of the link kit)

I'm very confident either engine fuse, or the position of the orange/slate in the purple connector is the issue

annoying i didnt have a meter with me at the time , and I had to rush off to vistsi a relative in hospital the sceond I completed the install ...
