tow bar electrics

Hi all, I’ve came to use my (7 pin) trailer for the first time in a while and I’ve got a right hand indicator and side lights but no left hand indicator or brake lights. It was fitted and coded by me using a genuine loom and has been fine for 4 years until now. I have, however, fitted a new...

I bought a PF Jones Universal 7 pin Towbar Wiring Kit with bypass on to fit to my van that has No Towbar Prep. So I've phoned PF jones and they said even though my van isn't Towbar Prepped I should still be able tap into a 12v supply on my rear LED light cluster. Can I check this is correct ...

Hi guys. Vans booked in for pop top on Wednesday and my vans going into limp mode due to the tow bar being removed (incorrectly) before it went to auction (and then to me) I need VagCom or something to tell the van it no longer has a tow bar

So i’ve got a 2019 T6 with reversing sensors and need to add the 7 pin electrics for my Witter none removable tow bar, what’s the best electrical kit or way of doing it ? I’d really prefer not to run a cable all the way from the battery if possible and ideally just tap into the rear lights or...

So following some experiments over here I thought I'd write up making an adaptor to connect a charger to a 13 pin trailer socket. Caveat: This is presented as info for what worked for me, make your own judgement about if it works for you :thumbsup: What is this? In a fully wired 13 pin...

Hi,I need to replace my electric socket on my tow bar,but in the old ne is some microswitch inside.Did someone have idea what is the purpose on that microswitch and where I can get one

Two questions please. Where does the electrics run from the tow bar socket? I can see it goes into bumper. Does it then join the original loom and run up to the relay under the passenger seat? Is it possible to have a passenger double seat swivel whilst maintaining tow bar electrics?

Hi all I’m looking to change my van from t6 (was a shuttle originally) to a t6.1 ocean. I fitted and coded the towbar on the t6 and want to know if I can swap to the new van. Not purchased yet so checking out if factory spec towbar/prep is a route worth taking. A few Qs: - the towbar itself...

Hi. I would like to put a towbar on my T6 and will only be fitting a bike rack so it’s extremely unlikely I will actually tow anything. Should I go for universal wiring loom or dedicated loom with trailer prep. If I fit trailer prep with coding will it effect the van unnecessary when bike rack...

We just got the tow bar programmed in and they told me at the time that if the light-bulb error lamp comes on the dash and the indicator clicks at double speed then there is a bulb fault, but all the lights seem to be working fine!? Only light not coming on is reversing off side (driver) but...

hi I was wondering if anyone could help. I'm looking to fit a towbar to my T6 2017. And there are a number of towbar electrics available. There are ones with and without towbar prep. I was wondering how do I find out if my vehicle has the wiring prep or do I need the full electrics. Any...

Hi I searched as best I could before posting this but couldn’t quite find the help I needed so thought I would jot down what I found and how it went to benefit others and hope on some help on the last bit. This is for vans with no trailer prep- I don’t understand (other than tiny cost and...

I've just fit the Westfalia towbar to my new 72 plate T28 SWB panel van yesterday and have a vehicle specific wring kit which i haven't fit yet but I'm thinking of getting a genuine kit if one is available? Does anyone have any experience of fitting the genuine kit? Is it fairly straight...

Hi All, As my camper trailer has electric brakes (Aussie requirement for trailers over a certain weight), I needed to fit a brake controller to my T6.1. To solve this, I made a custom loom that plugs in to the exisiting OEM plugs, so no factory wiring had to be cut or spliced! Here is how I...

I fitted a towbar with pf Jones electrics I was wondering what coding I need to do. I have vcds

Is it possible to put a reverse camera on a tow bar mounted bike rack? Has anyone done it? If so I'd love some pointers on where to start!

Bought a 2017 T6 1 month ago with a towbar fitted. In preparation of going on a trip with my Puck caravan next week.........plugged it in .......no electrics. Have tried it on a towing board as well same result. Called the auto electrician and he spent 2 hours on it no luck. It has Brink...

Hi on a factory fitted towbar does your van have an alert light on the dash or a buzzer to confirm trailer lights are working? I have just had genuine VW wiring kit fitted and there is no provision for a buzzer in the new loom. Or is it a programming thing to get the lights on buzzer to beep...

I’ve just acquired a Thule 3 bike rack to fit on my T6 towbar. However the electrics don’t seem to be working - no lights or brake lights coming on. The outer cap is damaged so doesn’t sit in the rows at electric adapter comfortably. Could anyone help please? Many thanks
