Towbar wiring

Post by garrydog »

I am going to do the wiring on my tow-bar tomorrow ,I have done the supply from the battery to the rear of the car. Will someone please tell me the best and safest way to find the correct wires leading to the rear light clusters. I am going to use a 7 way relay TEB7AS.
Thanks

What car?

If it's a C5, for instance, you have the multiplexed electrics to deal with and you can't just scotchlock wires on.

I was aware of a special unit, I didn't know that was the part number.
