wired in my towbar (just for trailer board lights) with scotch clips, and now when i plug in my trailerboard my abs and traction control warning lights come on.

i then looked at getting a dedicated plug thinking my wiring in was at fault somehow but read that the van 'may' need recoding or somesuch.

can anyone enlighten me as to whats going on?

thanks

You probably need a "smart bypass relay". What year is your van?

What trailer kit did you use? Mine needed a smart relay installed at the back of the van

I have a spare kit available if needed as i bought 2 at the time

yeah mine needed to be coded, literally a case of the guy plugging a box in and changing one value from 4 to 6. Mine was wired in under the double front seat

thanks for the replies.

its a 2005 1.9td.

the towbar wiring is just the very basic (single wiring?) one that came with the towbar (from towsure) and i just tapped into the appropriate wires (with scotchclips) that i found by the rear light on the drivers side.
