TRAILER SOCKET
Incorporated in the Range Rover’s electrical
harness is the facility to fit a pair of multi-pin
trailer lighting sockets.
Pick-up points for attaching a trailer lighting
harness are located behind the tail light access
panels (see illustration) - the trailer tail lights,
stop lights and direction indicators are fed
from a connector located behind the right
hand panel, while the supply for a reversing
light and trailer auxiliary equipment is fed
from a connector behind the left hand panel.
To fit a trailer lighting socket
Before fitting trailer lighting equipment,
ALWAYS disconnect the vehicle battery.
Detach both of the circular blanking covers
from the bumper and feed the two parts of the
main towing harness through the holes.
Fit the reinforcement plates and towing
sockets to the bumper (the towing socket
hinges must be uppermost), and then clip
both parts of the main towing harness
securely to the rear of the bumper along its
full length (secure to the top of the bottom
edge of the METAL bumper reinforcement).
From beneath the vehicle, remove the
blanking grommets from the loadspace floor
(one on each side - below each light unit).
Then, via the tail light access panels, connect
a genuine, Land Rover approved, linking
harness to both harness connectors (on on
each side of the vehicle). Each linking harness
MUST be clipped securely to an adjacent body
panel and then fed through the holes in the
floor. Ensure the holes are properly sealed.
Connect both sides of the towing harness to
the linking harness connectors protruding
beneath the loadspace floor. Finally, reconnect
the battery and check the operation of the
trailer lights.
