Safety Instructions
- Ensure that Health and Safety, local authority, and general workshop practice regulations are strictly adhered to when using tools and equipment.
- DO NOT use the socket assembly if it or any attachment is damaged.
- Maintain the socket assembly in a good, clean condition for the best and safest performance.

Introduction
Complete assembly includes a 1.5mtr 7-core cable with a pre-wired 12V 7-pin N-type socket. Metal plate with pre-formed mounting points at 90mm centers.
FITTING INSTRUCTIONS
- Position the mounting plate between the tow ball and the vehicle towing bracket.
- Locate a convenient connection point in the vehicle’s wiring harness near one of the rear light clusters.
- If there is no access for the cable available, drill a suitably sized hole in the bodywork near the tow ball. Remove any sharp edges and fit a suitably sized grommet (or use sealant).
- Feed the 7-core cable through this hole and strip off the outer cover as necessary and connect the wires into the wiring harness as required using the following codes.
12N Socket| 7 Core Cable| Function
---|---|---
Pin 1| Yellow| Left Hand Direction Indicator
Pin 2| Blue| Rear Fog Lamp
Pin 3| White| Earth Return
Pin 4| Green| Right Hand Direction Indicator
Pin 5| Brown| Right-Hand Tail and Number Plate Lamps
Pin 6| Red| Brake Lamp
Pin 7| Black| Left Hand Tail and Number Plate Lamps - When completed, test all vehicle and trailer lamps for correct operation, before towing a trailer on the road.
WARNING : Number plate lamps on the trailer should be wired to avoid a common connection between Pins 5 and 7 of the 12N Socket.
NOTE : It is a legal requirement that a warning should be given if a bulb fails in the direction indicators on the trailer. It is therefore recommended that a 7 way bypass relay is used where the direct connection of towing electrics may affect bulb failure monitoring, multiplex wiring or other electronic systems.
