I think you have just saved me around £400.Thank you bodgit!!!

I'm a bricklayer and I managed to get my head around the relay bypass kit successfully wired in with help from bodgit and leggit thanks bro!

Followed Bodgits advice and successfully wired in my trailer electrics.. a proud moment as I usually struggle with wiring a domestic plug. Thanks for taking time to film the video Bodge..! first class..!

Thanks for this vid. Great - no shaky camera and comprehensive detail put over in a pleasant way.

You just helped me pass my NCT , rear fog light would not work on car , checked the wiring for the towbar and there it was the sctochlock that was holding the cars blue wire to the towbar blue wire had broke and all the wires were hanging lose so I left the towbar blue wire off and reconnected the cars fog light blue wire , and bingo the car fog light worked again . I just wont use the fog light when towing a trailer, the rare times I actually tow the trailer . Great video thank you .

I'm in Australia, good info and the audio is great. Pretty sure these same steps apply here, will make sure I return and watch this again when I do my tow bar build.

Best explanation on youtube super simple no BS!

Very helpful. Thank you.

I did mine yesterday and was easy following your expert knowledge. Many thanks. 👍

Just after fitting a towbar and needed help with wiring great video best one out there thank you for your help keep up the good work.

This video was useful for me, thanks Leon. Very informative and easy to follow :-)

you make it look so easy but I think I will take it back to garage when I get the canbus for my Jeep Renegade but this video its great just to check if you need a canbus or not thank you so much you explane is so well

cheers, simple instruction, common sense required , Excellent !

Thanks for a great video extremely well explained and clear

Thanks so much you really helped me for my car

Very helpful, thank you.

Doesn't help me because my issue isn't addressed but I really enjoy these presentations. Thank you. Good stuff.

It's good to gain the insight of what's required.

I have wired and fitted 6 towbars and about to fit another, working out the wiring has been a nightmare, you make it easy understanding the testing of the wiring socket, testers are on the way. Thanks

Thanks got my caravan sorted

very well explained.thanks.

Excellent work mate and very clean explication

Thanks. Great video

Well done - very well explained

Thank you very much. It was very helpful. (:

super good video. thanks

thanks i was having the problem of more than 1 wire giving a reading followed your instruction jobs a goodun cheers

brilliant very clear, thank you.

Nice one matey. I am currently stuck in the middle of nowhere in eastern Europe and need to fit a tow bar to an old Audi your vids a huge help, top man.

Thanks for the video Leon

Thanks for posting this... the Skoda main dealer told me that you can't do a home fit for a tow-bar and electrics but I fitted one to a Fabia Estate today and followed your guidance for the wiring. All works fine except one weird anomaly where if the main lights are on they switch off rather than get brighter when I break. When the main lights are off the brakes work as expected... not going to sweat it but will avoid driving at night instead ;-)

Brilliant video . Have you ever put trailer lights on a Peugeot Partner Van struggling having difficulty with the Break light and haven't even got the indicators Thanks

You also need a TEB relay if your car has a bulb failure system. It takes the load off the circuit when your trailer is connected.

hi just a word in your ear this saying has bin going around for a very long time but we from Liverpool say it like this BODGUP-AND-LEGGIT just saying and thanks for the vid

cheers mate good video - especially the "can" bit -i think my old bus doesnt have can so you will have saved me a few quid - also the tip about bigger fuse- its those little things that can catch people like me out , ill have a go at this -cheers....... around here we always used the term bodgit and scarper lol

Thanks for the vids. I've just wired a 2006 peugeot 206 SW tow bar and then I wondered if it may be "can bus" wired. Is there an easy way to tell. Everything works fine but I'm worried something may get damaged after prolonged use. Thanks!

I film the rear of my trailer, when im alone....review it, and ...sorted....or when i have to go to M.OT....also carbrakes light and rear backuplichts( the white ones)are easy to test that way...💪hope this helped...as a return....Bob Belgium thanks brother!

Very good , thank you . I'd like to ask if there is the possibility to feed the box from that 12 v socket inside the boot , if would be possible is it also fused already . Meaning could be a plausible alternative ?

Great Video. You clearly care about your customers. Is the indicator buzzer you mentioned audible outside the car?

Great video thank you so much I would like to connect the fog light from the tail gate, it be would very useful if you show this to people in an other video Thank you

Brill clear video Any chance you can do 13 pin electrics on a Navara D40 Cheers Keep up the good work

thanks buddy, if we ever come across i'll buy you a drink 👍

Hi great video. I'm trying to wire a bypass into my 2013 mondeo and I brought the wire in from the right side. Does this matter. As in what side you splice of from. Thanks Ray

Would you able to tell me where to buy that tester please? Any brand name or other to use please. For car without led and 2007 car do I still need that box or no? Many thanks

Hello Bodgit, can you do a video on wiring up a single tow bar electrics with Can Bus wiring. Many Thanks

Where did you get your tester from? what's the make please?

good video .but looking on you tube ,nobody shows how to install a trailer buzzer . could you please do a video on how to install a trailer indicator buzzer

Yes, I do not like Scotch grips either, and like you, use solder or crimp plus and sockets and heat shrink (remember to put in place first) and pipe pliers are better more often than not

Thx brother, so you just make T connections on the existing wiring ?

this is one of the few jobs il pay someone to do

Hi there mate, I hope you can help me. I have an Xsara Picasso from 05 ,It is muliplex,canbus. I have fitted the towbar and now need to do the wiring. The 7 pin wiring is 2 harnesses. One with 4 wires and the other with 3 wires . This towbar and wires are for a Picasso. Why are they split up like this ? I have a by-pass relay and I can see I have to screw all the wires into the relay. But then I am confused ,can it all be wired to the left side of the lights or how do I know if I have to wire in on both sides ?. The left side is 8 wires going to the backlight and the right side is 6 wires. Lets just say you explain to me that I need to wire both sides, Do I then lets say the red is the lights on wire and I need to connect this to the red on the relay. Do I need to add an extra wire there and take it over to the red on the other side. ? Also the colours on both sides are a little diffent. Appreciate your help. I have tried registering on the Citroen Picasso owners club for over a week .something really wrong with their site. All the info is there and I can not get to it, very frustrating.

Will a bmw 120d 2005 have can bus wiring

Do i need one of those boxes for a 2006 passat 1.9tdi b6 ?

The connections your using are pish m8 they give you norhing but hassle thanks for the video

Hi after you done the left indicater where does the green wire go on the other indicator I tried putting the green wire on the other side but it won’t work everything else does

Thanks for the video. Our merc is 2003 (no led) so I can wire BOG STANDARDLY? only there is a switch on the merc dash that is for towing

Thanks for the videos - been trying to source a canbus compliant 12v voltage tester unsuccessfully - any you can recommend? - Cheers, Martin.

Bigger fuze, nice info....+ 5 v ?

Brilliant tutorial what is the circuit tester you are using and where can you buy it from I have one but not as good as that shows you the voltage

Hi thanks for your video it’s very helpful I have bmw 320d e90 2011 model how I can find out it’s Camber wire or normal wire thanks

Hi thank you for your video at the video 1 min .what the make and model of your tester which is can bus compatible. Best regards james

A lot of cars will have a spare connector in the back where a factory option tow bar plugs in. So it is worth having a look for a spare connector along the rear. It makes the job easier and doesn’t overload the cars wiring.

This video is great, I was verging on the terrified looking at the wiring kit / instructions I got from Halfords. If you get a chance to look at the one remaining question I have left...from this video it seems like I won't need the bypass relay supplied, instead I should just directly connect the wires without it (guessing the bypass relay is only needed for can bus wiring)? Whether you get a chance to reply or not - thanks a lot for doing the video.

How do you test which cable into the light is the Earth?

hi Bud nice video need your help, I have a Bmw 1 series 5dr hatch back E87 05 Plate and i want to know how to do a dedicated wiring kit, I've had a look online, i thought a dedicated wiring kit would mean i don't have to cut wires and just plug it in is this the case or not, costs £140 so i don't want to risk cutting cables , if i have to do this anyway i will put in a relay and do it myself.

I have a new shape Vauxhall Vivaro 2014 1.6 CTDI. I’m stuck wiring my 7 pin connector up to the vans wiring. Not sure if it’s standard wiring or cam bus.

Just watched your video, can I please ask if you know if I would be able to wire up a towbar the same way on a 1987 Mercedes 190e 2.6 ( having to use secondhand towbar, new ones are pretty much obsolete now....). Do you have to have audible signals by law for mot. Cheers

hei, when all wires are connected like this, is there no shortage of electric power for the light bulbs? and wont the wires get burnt since some wires will support twice as much bulbs than before, if not more for some... regards Dovis btw easy explanation, thanks for the video

hello I just fitted my towbar to my "corsa c 2004" and now i dont know if it has canbus wiring. can you help me find out if it has it or not? thanks and keep up the good work. :)

Can anyone tell me where to buy a can bus compatible tester please ? . Great vid and helped me loads thanks bodgit and leggit

don't you have to also wire in a 12v supply to the relay? or did I miss that bit?

Great video. Thankyou Shame you weren’t fitting the buzzer too

hi mate great vids! whats the probe you are using to test the wires have electric?? thanks

been looking at this video all looks easy , but been looking at the wiring on my car and two plug sockets fitted witch i have been told that they where but there when the car was made and told that there for caravan trailer sockets would but a pic up but do not know how

Yeeeaaaa haaaaaa!

Would love to know is it the same for a 2002 vauxhall zafira

Hi buddy i've asked question on this before but now getting round to putting the tow bar on. My Citroen C3 2002 model I believe is multiplex wiring? The towbar I have is new but bought as second hand the guy wrote some instructions down which make absolutely no sense ( so yep there are no wiring instructions ) the kit i'm using is like the one in the video but has a small box attached which I believe is the sounder to let you know when the indicators are off or on. will need advice on that as well but for now. I have a 3 lead digital tester can I use that to test the car plug connector as you do with your tester? I'm guessing yes? can send a picture if needed. Also the towbar is already wired to a 7 pin plug, I see these are normally wired one way IE the break lights to say pin 6 is this universal for UK / Ireland? Ive had a few people say that the C3 light wiring can be problematic and can damage the ECU if wired wrong so any advice would be greatly welcomed buddy? I got a quote for a garage to do just the wiring this was £60 so would like to save that if can do it myself Cheers Bill

How big fuse u suggest ? Ha

Mk3 cortina

i have a 2010 audi a3 what side should i wire it from NS or OS i dont have led do i need a box ?.

hello can you help me ,i have a peugeot 3008 year 2011 i have put a tow bar on it i am putting the relay on the wire loom of the car do i have to take the negative leed of the battery many thanks

I have no wires on left or right. Only amplifier and fm unit. Audi A4 quattro 2006.

Where can I get a good tester like that

sorry the DSO I meant...

Hi.Sorry but how it is possible when I put my car on reverse the electric is going for ewerithing.Its not wireling for nothing.Its Peugeot boxer 2005.

If black is ,left tail. And brown is right tail. Then why not connect to the proper corresponding wires on the car

I hate to disagree but you should not connect left and right tail lights together and increase the fuse rating. You should run twin cable across to the opposite side and connect both side lights separately as well as the indicators and leave the fuses as they are. Bad practice to uprate fuses.

CAM? bus?

It's not can bus wiring it's pulse width modulation pwm

If it’s a newer car this is wrong as you’re going to end up costing folk money and warranty issues. Newer cars are canbus and if you do this it’s going to make car throw codes etc

So I'm watching how to wire a 2001 golf with this video... And get an ad for the new Bentley Continental GT V8??? Cmon Google/CIA/BillGates/MI5/BigBrother, you can do a lot better than that...
