Fit an inline switch on the Red wire from reversing lights to the Park Pilot ECU.

I bet the idiots used scotchlocks as well

be just my luck to forget to turn back on and missis will give me a insurance claim as she puts towbar through someones radiator whilst reversing in asda

You could try to fix the wiring that the cowboys did, but from memory, it needs a different socket.

Thanks for the suggestion but the tow bar was fitted when i brought the car.
Is the correct/factory electrics available?

[Lazydocker]

Just to throw a spanner in the works... Surely if those wires pictured aren't connected to anything the OP doesn't have Park Pilot fitted and they're aftermarket too

[adey2]

i will do when i get round to that end of car, got to remove towbar at some point to fit washers to the fixings as idiots used a hole cutter to drop inserts through to chassis so the boot floortakes none of the load and towbar twists, could be a interesting fix

They should drill a hole large enough for the inserts only and there should be a spreader plate over the top

[adey2]

yeah but the inserts should be sandwiched between the floor and chassis rails, mine can be dropped in the top hole and fall out the bottom

Ahh... I understand what you mean now

Why do you think they are not connected

That's how I read the first post

Hi All,
Found some un-attached wires in the NSR space behind the light cluster
How do I post pictures of them as want to know what they are for?

Could be wrong though

Update,
Spoke to local Vauxhall dealer and electrics available to disable fog lights and parking sensors
ONLY £320.00 + Vat as comes as complete set with tow bar

Not going down this route!

Looks like you're looking at inline switch as previously suggested...  ...or turn radio up


Shame whoever fitted the towbar saved a few quid going pattern.

[m.ian]

Yes very grim.

As suggested in line switch, will have a look again at wiring and wiring diagram at weekend!
Not easy though as colours on wiring diagram do not match whats on my car.

I know I should not have started this but its not going to get the better of me
