I'm looking for a wiring diagram for a tow bar that i've just fitted to my 854. Basically , what do the colours of wiring in the towbar harness represent ?
Any help would be gratefully accepted !!

Best wishes to you all

First of all check that the actual socket has the correct wiring as splatt has linked. I didnt and had to start it all over again.

You will need 6 scotchlocks for all the lights and an O-ring for the earth.

Pin 1, 2 and 4 need to be connected tailgate side of the bulb failure unit, 5, 6 and 7 need to go engine side of it.
