I have fitted a PF Jones 13 pin trailer plug to my 2012 l322 all the lights work fine, with the indicator light showing on the dash when the turn signal is used?

I imagine you have to tell the car it’s got a tow bar on, but I’m not sure if it will detect it if you used the factory loom....

Thanks, guys that`s what I thought? I did not have to do that on my SE when I went from 7 to 13 it was just plugged and play?

Tinman I fitted the same loom 13 pin from PF Jones and had the same issue with my 2011, Camtech Craig told the car it had the towing electrics when he serviced the Rangie a couple of months ago and now works as it should and now turns the sensors off when hitched up. |

This is interesting. I've got two fatties, both now fitted with towbars. Fatty 1 has clearly not been told it has a towbar fitted, the dash indicator flasher doesn't work and the reversing buzzer doesn't turn off. However, Fatty 2 has only recently had a towbar fitted and the indy that fitted it told the car that it has a towbar. The dash indicator flasher does work, but the reverse warning buzzer doesn't turn off. Both are 13 pin electrics, the second is a PF Jones loom, no idea about the first but it's been wired in from first principles, for some reason the plug and play hasn't been used. Drives:

This is what I thought, The car needs to be told that it has a towing kit? What is confusing is that if it`s OEM it`s plug and play if not then the car has to be told? how strange.

An IID will pay for itself many times over and retain its value.
