Hi fellow bongeliers! :)

Is there anyone out there in Bongo land that can assist a demented Cornish man with an electrical problem ? :shock:

Just fitted a tow hitch to a converted Bongo and I am at a complete loss as how to wire the ruddy thing for a trailer! all information available ( as far as I can tell) relates to unconverted Bongo's :roll:

Anyone had the same problem or has knowledge of how to over come this problem, any suggestions would be welcome providing they stay within the user rules for this forum! :twisted:

Thanks a bunch :wink:

Hi, When wiring your towbar up it doesn`t matter if its converted or not as you are only connecting into the wiring behind the rear lights . Hope this helps . :) .... p.s the wiring is easy to do if use a test lamp.

You just need to tap in to the relevant wires behind each rear light cluster and the rear fog lamp wire. You can check which wire goes where by removing the rear light clusters.
There's a factsheet in the member's area.

Run the wires behind the bumper & up behind the light clusters, don't bother taking it inside, just make sure connections are well taped up , preferebly with self amalgamating tape, much quicker & tidier & you can see which wires are which :D
