Hi can anyone tell what the extra lug is for on my range rover sport 2006 it has a additional lug with two wires going into it and this lug connects to the blue as well can you help please and do i need them and where is the best place to buy just the socket



Thanks

The car fog lights can be connected to this
So that the cars fogs are off when trailer plugged in
To stop reflections off white caravans.

So i don't really need it then if putting on new plug as i don't tow caravans only a small boat
Thank You

Well anything with a white front. So could apply to a boat.

Anyway if the socket doesn't come with an extra terminal, you will need to connect the single wire to blue No.2 to ensure the car rear fogs work

Thanks Andy i have been in touch with the company and am just going to exchange socket for the right one
Cheers for info.

Ok the reason i decided to replace the towing socket was that i had no Right Tail / Side Light I had checked all fuses, checked bulbs plugged in a spare trailer board and got the same as above so i put it down to the socket all other lights work Left Tail /side works, Left and Right indicators work, Brake Stop lights work anyone got any ideas

Check 5a fuses by the jack.

Check there is power on both sides of the fuse when the lights are on.

Is this one in the boot Andy

Yes the fuses under the boot floor hatch

Thanks Andy will check it in the daylight plus remove all the crap from boot first lol and let you know how i get on

Hi Andy been in the boot cant find any fuses under jack

Humm I wonder if you have an aftermarket tow kit,

In which case the fault could be them blue scotch locks.

Normally there are 6 fuses in view when you open the hatch (on early models)


You will just have to follow the towbar wiring to trace the fault.
Probably on the passenger side.

If you want a quick fix;
I guess you could leave the dead wire disconnected and take a feed off the brown or black (which ever one works)
