another towbar cry for help

[baner]

hi all
got a towbar from towequipe good price and it fits like a dream
used the search to get some tips on fitting and everything has gone fine
i have got a wiring diagram for the electrics but i have a couple of questions
1 do i have to connect both left and right side light wires(main cable up the the back of left light cluster)
2 has anyone fitted the warning buzzer that comes with the toweqipe towbar
i thought it would just be 3 wires 1 to earth 1 to left indicator 1 to right indicator but it has more wires coming out in colours that dont show up on any wiring diagram
any help would be appreciated

I bought one from them too, an amazing price (ebay),
I have fitted it but must admit I am going to get a car spark friend
to wire it in.
Great quality bar, would recommend to anyone.

hiya mate yes the black wire on 7 core goes to left hand side brown to right side light
the warning buzzer is supposed to be fitted by law usually you have yellow green orange and grey and white wires green to green on 7 core yellow to yellow on 7 core grey to right hand indicater orange to left indicater white to earth hope this helps i believe the wiring runs down both sides of vehicle so you will need to run two wires accross to other side for other side light and indicater i am a auto electrician by trade so any probs shout

I did mine a few eeks ago .
The bleeper thing is easy to fit
You just connect it to the towing wire first and then the wires in the lamp cluster

Red - tail lights
Blue - fog light
orange - left indicator
Grey - right indicator
White - earth
Black - brake lights

I just ran a wire from the right hand cluster to the other side. It only too about an hour all told. I hope this helps.

i have one of these, i had no probs with the wiring at all just followed the instructions, as for helping you at the moment would be hard cause it was a while back when i fitted it so i have forgot the wiring procedure...but if you do get stuck and need help i could remove the light cluster to see how i have it wired-in but i would have to do this tomorrow if i get home from work early enough. if this is any help for you just let me know?????

[baner]

now all you need to worry about is if the cooling system is up to towing...

You should not have any problems

What model folding camper?
my old Conway weighed 3/4 tonne and my 2.4 never even knew it was there.
The new Pennine is 1 tonne fully loaded, and I can feel it pulling back slightly.

That damned buzzer is awfully loud though, I've buried mine in foam and its still bl!!dy deafening.

[jackster]

If i`d of read this post soon enough i would have suggested that you either wrap the buzzer up with tape or don`t use it all!

I fit the same towbar from ebay a few weeks ago aswell.I`ve put the buzzer behind the trim in the little pocket behind the near side rear lights.Was quite pleased with myself until i heard how loud the buzzer was.Towing the caravan up to the lakes two weeks ago every time i indicated i woke the baby up.If the buzzer was`nt buzzing then the baby would be balling. ,Bad move

[baner]

i have put the buzzer there too and like you was quite impressed with my work until i indicated wow what a noise
might have to wrap it up in something
my camper is a pennine pullman and i think it is about a ton
its only an old one but they are all the same inside
up to north wales at the weekend so if anyone is up there give me a wave
