General Help Identifying Connector ...

[Shadeyman]

I'm fitting a tow bar to my Multiwagon today and I just came across a connector behind the rear bumper. I've attached a photo of it, can someone tell me what it would normally be used for? Parking sensors maybe?

If it's a 6 pin connector, it's probably for connecting the parking sensors (if fitted) to the control unit.

Only other thing that would be back there is for a tow bar but that would need more wires than in your connector.

This is the parking sensor connector.

I did plan on selling the rear Crossrail(46827014) when I removed it to fit the towbar but as you can see there was more rust the steel so I scrapped it.

Sorry to knick your thread Shadeyman. I'm hoping you can help me with a couple of things, I will hopefully be getting around to fitting my tow bar soon and I have been reading up on here about removing the bumper and couldn't find a clear cut answer. Could you please tell me where all the fixings are for removing the bumper?

Also in your picture at the start of this thread I can see that it looks like you completely removed the boot lining panel on the left, could you also please explain how to remove this?

Cheers

3 x Hex headed(10mm) screws underside of the bumper.

2 x Cross-Head screws in each rear wheel arch.

1 x Cross-Head screw and 1 x Allen(5mm) screw each side fixing the bumper to the rear quarter. (Access is gained after removing the 2 x Cross-Head screws in each rear wheel arch).

2 x Allen(5mm) screws behind each light cluster. (Access is gained after removing the rear light clusters).

1 x Allen(5mm) screws below each light cluster.

I removed them in the order I listed them.

If you look close you'll notice the boot lining is still in place, I only removed the Subwoofer, not the lining.

Thanks for the details on removing the bumper.

As for this, my mistake. I didn't know you had a subwoofer in the boot. It looked like the lining was removed. As I said, my mistake.
