(T) Towbar electrics

Hi,

So last weekend I fitted a towbar to my 3dr JTD.
I didn't get round to doing the electrics though - anyone know the best way?
I have no instructions on this so it's a case of clamping onto the existing lamp wires. I hope this is the way. Even if the car is multiplexed then I should still be able to tap off this way. Or can I?

Cheers

I'd personally buy the correct plug in bit from Fiat. Might be worth the expence in all honesty!

dont know your car but on the newer car with bulb/system checks the extra power drain can cause error messages.older cars its not a prob

Ah right. Thanks guys.
I did not know there was a plug in bit. Got my towbar from Towsure and the electrics is of the old school clip onto existing wires type.
I'll give Fiat a ring and get me some official gizmo.

Thanks for saving me a whole heap of trouble!

Moogs

your car has can wiring you must use a special relay pack any tow bar company sells them

cheers, I'll give both Fiat and Towsure a call then.
Also It might pay me to investigate what actually came with the towbar.

Incidentally, fitting the bar was a thoroughly awkward job. Removing the rear bumper is an art that requires patience, thin wrists and a ridiculous level of dexterity to get at a screw right at the top of the bumper, inside the thing near the corner of the car. Nightmare!
