B5.5 Towbar Electrics

[Peter_HMR]

Hi I've searched for some topics on this but can't find much info.

Does anyone know the correct way to wire the electrics for a towbar on a passat. I would like to do this properly but not sure if I need bypass replays etc.

If someone could post a link or a guid with diagrams I'd appreciate it.

This is for a B6 , but gives some info. http://sites.google.com/site/1810mar...-bypass-wiring Why not look in the towbar section on this forum. It's got tons of stuff.

Hi Peter,

The towbar on my passat B5 is spliced direct
to the loom, that goes into the rear near-side
tail-light cluster, with those little blue scotch-lock
connectors.

There are no relays.

The information on "what socket-pin goes to which
wire" is usually supplied with the socket.

Regards
Jim

Thanks yeah thats how I tough it was done but didnt want to splice into the loom. I also though there was some kind of indication lamp on the dash but I'll post in the towbar forum.

These kits dont use Scotchlok connectors, they pick up on the extra pins on the light bulb holder.
