whats this then?

[bouncymat]

just been poking about in the back of my van and i have found this above the wheel arch in the back on the drivers side.

the van is a mk6 125t280 lx

i would be particularly interested to find out if it carries power, a signal to indicate if the engine is running/the doors are open.

many thanks
mat

Not a clue.

But 7 pins. Possibly for a factory fit towbar?

[bouncymat]

van has no towbar.

the connector is on the inside.

[GBBiker]

What I meant was that the loom has the connections should the original buyer have wanted a Ford towbar fitted. I'm sure Ford would have made such a thing plug and play rather than hard wired for the sake of ease in fitting.

A towbar and electrics was an option from the factory so it's conceivable that there should be a plug somewhere for the towbar's electrics.

the pins look too small to cary enough current to be tow bar electrics

[GBBiker]

12N electrics don't draw any more current than normal lighting circuits.


It probably isn't anyway. I just guessed based on the 7 pins.

[angeleye]

could be socket for vans with rear windows wash/wipe and heated rear window. do you no colours of wires. i think trailer socket would have more pins

[GBBiker]

i think trailer socket would have more pins

12N electrics are 7 pin

Yes but Factory option is for 13 pin

Fair enough, it was just a thought


Probably tailgate electrics then?

Probably tailgate electrics then?

Yes or drivers side side loading door

Yes or drivers side side loading door

drivers sld sounds most possible to me - i checked and there is a conection on the other side which is in use (didn't have time to check if they are the same or not)

so would that just be central locking then?

thanks
