Tow electrics - wrong part or idiot fitting
Just about to fit second hand OE tow electrics to my 2010 D4 but on the checking the plugs do not match I’m using part number land rover ah22-15r555-ac, photo below. Have I got the wrong part or am I missing something?
I'm not able to remember what the plugs look like, but the way things are arranged the vehicle harness ends in some plugs in behind the near-side access panel. There is then a short harness including a fuse box, which leads through behind the near-side rear light cluster. Then another harness goes all the way to the socket(s). Are you perhaps missing the intermediate harness with fuse box?A vaccine does not stop you catching a virus, or passing it on, or getting ill from it, really ill. It does reduce the likelyhood of you dying when really, really ill. Stay Alive - KEEP AWAY FROM PEOPLE.

Hi, if its second hand then it may be that part of ot is missing. I retro fitted tow electrics on a RRS and it was all plug and play really easy and that had a fuse box with it, only difference is tge fuse box goes under the floor with the jack and tools.Discovery 4 GS 2009 Auto Stornoway Grey
