Default Help with towing a trailer / connecting on AU

Hi everyone,

I will be needing to do a little towing. My Fairlane has the heavy duty tow pack, but I'm not sure on how to connect the trailer lights. Does it require a separate harness to be purchased and wired in, or is there a socket you plug it into somewhere on the AU?

Any help is appreciated.

Thanks!

Andrew.

there should be a plug next to your towbar. if not, you have 2 options.

1 is to get a loom that is attached permanently to the car. this plugs into the socket inside the boot and runs out through a grommet in the floor, over the exhaust and to the tow bar.

the other option is, most auto shops have a flat loom that you plug into the socket inside the boot, normally under the floor covering near the right hand tail light. being flat, you just run it out through where the boot closes then plug the trailer into it. if you don't want to leave the wiring there permanently, this is the best option

Thanks for your help, buddy. I located the loom underneath near the exhaust. Don't know why I didn't see it before.
