After fitting tow bar electrics i have a message on the display panel saying rear lamp fault and have two red lights indicating that my rear lights are not working but they are working ? any idea`s ?or can i disconnect the display panel , i`m thinking it might be the switch itself perhaps . Thanks all, Vance

I take it you have fitted the tow bar elctrics by splicing into the loom, on some car's with bulb failure circuits, you can't do this, you need a special part that sends the bulb failure unit a false signal when its disconnected, I had to to have one fitted when my audi had a tow bar fitted.

Yes i did splice in to the loom , but i have disconected the tow electrics and i still have the prob

Disconnect the battery for a while and see if that clears the fault.

Have checked all fuzes bulbs etc no luck . Stange thing is it displays the fault even when the lights are swiched off ?

Have you checked all the bulbs in the high level brake light are working?

[vance5868]

Hi , yes all the bulbs are working . What i did notice after i had hitched up my trailer all the side lights went out after ten mins and then came back on when i disconnected it . Strange !!
