Title: Omega Towbar Electrics..
Post by: Markie on 11 November 2008, 18:23:06

Ive just picked up a 2.5 Elite with towbar and thought i`d benchmark it towing a horsebox compared to the Grand Cherokee.

However the lights ( any of them) on the trailer dont work in conjunction with the miggy being linked up, they all work perfectly with the Jeep towing.

So I conclude  ;D that theres a problem with the wiring or summit on the omega towbar.

Its got the towball and wiring thingy at the end with the 7? pins and all the fuses are fine.

So where do i go next to determin the problem? Is it easy to fault find at this stage or do i get it rewired...

I know nowt about electrics or towbars in case you didnt notice....

TIA  :y
