Title: Tow bar loom
Post by Mick Saunders on Mar 27^th, 2004, 10:34am

:) Hi All,
Does anyone out there, know where Ford, located the connection for the towbar loom. Or is the loom already in place. The vehicle is a Cosworth Estate.
I Know that the dash has the towing indicator repeater light already in place. Just wanted to know if the Wiring was in place.
Mick

Hi Mick,

There is no wiring in place for the tow bar, so you will have to piggy-back the loom near the rear light cluster.
To get the dash trailer indicator light to work, you need either a special indicator relay in the steering column or, a seperate trailer indicator relay wired in near the rear light cluster. I chose the latter method as I believe it is impossible to get the correct relay from Fords.

Cheers, Jake.
