If I was wiring a towbar socket, would I need wires going to both indicators and both tail lights? ie. pick up the wiring from both sides of the car. This is pre canbus etc. on a Mongdeo MK2 with real wiring.
Ta for any hints.
I'm waiting here with a length of wires and scotch loks. (I know...)

Well, after putting the towbar on myself, I bit the bullet and wired it up. I went the Scotch Lok route for convenience. That ended in tears. I ended up splicing and soldering the old fashioned way, and now all the lights work as they should.
I know I should have listened to Nolar/Maser et al.
The upside is, I can now take my caravan out for a spin hehe I promise to keep out of the way. I am putting a PH sticker on the back of it tomorrow, to match the one on the car.
I will probably be sin binned for that hehe

If anyone sees an abandoned caravan with a MK2 Mondeo rear bumper attached to the front of it on the A9 tomorrow, it wasn't me, Right?? biggrin
