Fitting A Tow Bar (Electrics)

Recommended Posts

dobboy

I've got a price over the phone for the complete installation of a tow bar and electrics to a 2013 Transit van.

 

A couple of Q's if anyone can advise.

 

Will it need a relay box?

 

and does the fitter access the electrics at one of the rear lights? do you think the ply lining can stay as is?

 

Not a very good pic, but I assume the ply lining must allow us access to change the back lamps etc, do you think that would be adequate for the fitter?

Depends on the fitter, most just scotch lock into the rear lights with a little buzzer, Not sure with Fords but Pug do a special relay box with a separate 12v feed so the trailer lights don;t dim and the Fog light works, it's why even in a 205 you have some spare wires in the back

Ah thanks Miles, so you think there's a slim chance this Aux 12v may already be around the light?

 

£270 sound ok for the lot supplied and fitted?

That's all right for a fitted towbar as companies are not allowed to fit 2nd hand ones

 

New transit custom has to be hooked up to computer after a towbars fitted (supposedly)

 

Of course it's free to just use mirrors when reversing instead of relying on the towball 'bump' lol
