Would love a towbar on the back of dobbin but am a little confussed about the electrics (mine's an 06 plate 1.9 jtd).
After reading earlier threads on the subject it all seemed so easy - especially fitting the ironmongery but the electrics...
A DiY towbar offers huge savings over a garage fitted jobbie but looking around the web just serves to confuse matters.
Some makers say I can simply scotchlock the wiring into my existing rear lights (as I have done on many previous motors), others say a 7 way bypass is required and yet others say I need a vehicle specific kit which plugs into various points along the way.
Fiat themselves are neither use nor ornament, they will not tell me what I need - obviously wanting me to buy their overpriced equipment (£400) and won't even hint at the wiring - Would it really hurt them?
I know in previous threads users have said they have scotched the wires in but the seeds of doubt have been planted by towbar manufacturers.
Anyone in the know?
