Tow bar wiring live feed

I think there is one in the left hand corner of the boot, up behind that sides light cluster.

I know on my estate it's behind the cover around the CD changer, a little, single, grey connector.

Many thanks for the swift reply

I am looking into this as well and have and have found a 3 terminal plug behind the trim on the left hand side of the boot. There is a black wire that goes down to earth. a brown wire that has an unswitched full time 12 volt supply and a brown and green wire that I believe is a switched 12 volt supply that will work when I discover what fuse to put in what fuse box. I have checked fuse 19 in the box in the glove compartment and its in place and good to go, I have also checked fuse 4 in the same fuse box and that is all good as well. The car is a 56 plate 2.2 diesel. Does any one know what I am missing here to get a supply on the green and brown cable. Thanks. PS sorry for the thread hijack John.

Wiring diagram for a dedicated wiring kit for an X type Saloon.

step 19 and 20 show the pick up, can't off hand remember which is which, but a test with a voltmeter should indicate which is what.

No, got it now, step 20, the BK connector!

Thanks again Goudy. My plan is to pick up a feed and with a 16 amp line fuse supply the bypass relay This has worked for me on my other cars It's a lot cheaper than a dedicated kit and has never given me any problems.

To get power to the Brown/Green connection in the boot, the fuse must be good (Fuse No varies year to year) and a 4 or 5 terminal relay has to be fitted in the Passenger Junction Fuse Box in the position three down from the top, lefthand side of the fuse panel.

Thanks astromorg. I will check that out over the weekend.

Starting to look like a dedicated kit may be worth fitting after all.

Mine was simple, plug and play, 45 minutes to fit, it even cuts the parking sensors when there's a socket in the plug.

Tow Bar now fitted, wired up and all ok.Picked up a live feed in boot by the cd changer.Many thanks for the very useful advice.Top forum for all things Jaguar
