Transit SWB towbar electrics
Hi, was looking at getting a towbar/electric kit for my transit 55plate but apart from varying in cost from £80 to almost £300, can i just use the
simple kit type?
I've heard and read about the electrics playing up due to low voltage / GEM / monitoring sensors etc in new vans and cars.
Should i be looking at one of these little "suppression"?? boxes or something?
1) Any ideas on cheap places to get a kit?
2) Does this electrical thing effect me or good to chop and solder into rear cluster wires?
Cheers Peers
Time for a change!

If your Tranny has normal filament bulbs in the rear light cluster, you don't need the 'can-bus' type electronicy box. You may need
an uprated flasher unit but I doubt it. If it's possible to buy a sub-loom that will plug into your excisting van loom, for a decent price, then
get one. If not, buy the kit (which has the flasher buzzer/beeper warning) from Towsure, Discount Towing, Trailers and Towing, etc and splice into
your loom.

And I would say the dedicated wiring loom is worth buying at £39, but they're out of stock at the moment...
