Wiring to new tow bar
Hello,
I am new to this forum and this is my first post so not completely sure this is the right place for the topic. Anyway here goes. I have a UK Yaris 1300cc built 2013 which has can bus wiring. I am in the process of fitting a tow bar with the intention of towing a small trailer and dingy. Fitting the actual tow bar is straightforward but despite lots of research and removing panels, seats etc I have been unable to find any suitable place to link in the wiring from the tow bar 7 pin plug. Is there anybody around who can point me in the right? Thanks for reading this. |

This is not exactly what you are looking for but it has enough information for you to figure out the answers. It's all I could find.

Tow bar
Thank you so much for the link.
This is exactly what I was searching for but didn’t think to search internationally. Thanks again and very best wishes. Gregg |

I had my tow bar and wiring professionally installed. The wiring includes a module that taps power from a switched fuse in the under dash fuse panel to repeat the lights to the trailer. I presume this is to avoid changing the load on the blinkers, possibly altering the flash rate. It also means I need to turn the ignition on to check the trailer lights.

Glad I was of some help. I'm appreciative of your response as that doesn't happen very often in my experience which has made me reluctant to stick my 2cs in sometimes.
