Obviously ...... & I'm assuming the wiring was factory installed. I did say I was guessing!

Hi,
My apologies for not asking the right question about these wires.
I am trying to understand how to turn off the parking sensors when I am towing.
I understand that these wires are part of the parking sensor system but I do not know what I need to do to achieve this.
Any help gratefully received.

If the towbar has been correctly wired, I'm sure this should disable parking sensors?


//edit: just checked, it does.

[m.ian]

thanks but it is not a factory fitted towbar.
any suggestions please

Get the idiots who fitted towbar to do it properly

Unplug the ECU when towing? Fit an inline switch?  All these are manual options, whereas the car loom is designed to take this into effect, disabling fog lights, reversing lights and parking sensors when something is plugged into the towing electrics.
