The car is towbar ready with an 8 pin connector wired as follows:

Car 8 pin connector:

Position 1. Purple/White
2. White/Green
3. Green/Black
4. Grey/Black
5. Blue/Brown ----]
6. White/Blue
7. Empty
8. Blue/Brown---- ]

5 and 8 looped.

Towbar cable:

. Red
. Brown
. Blue
. Green
. White
. Yellow
. Black

Audible unit:

. Green
. Orange
. Yellow
. Black
. Brown

................How do they all get wired??? :o Thanks for help.

  • not sure, but do you have a multimeter and a friend to operate the brakes and lights?
  • I'd try ebay. Search for the towbar again and some of the firms that come up probably do wiring kits (that will plug straight into the connector in the car).
    I normally just butcher the wiring with some scotch lock connectors.
