Freelander 1 [SOLVED] TD4 2005 Facelift towbar wiring & rear foglight circuit (Jaeger)

Hello all

I fitted my towbar recently and used a Jaeger 7 pin wiring kit. It connects into the OEM plug in the rear boot space. I tested it all out with my trailer tester and no problems were revealed.

Last night was the first time I drove after dark in months and I noticed that the rear fog light console switch was illuminated. So were the rear fog lights!! Pulled fuse 10 and it made no change!!

Today I disconnected the towbar white plug and everything returned to normal. Fuse 10 works too now and the console switch is operating correctly. I checked everything and it seems my wiring kit requires an adaption and cutting into the rear fog light wiring for correct fog light operation.

Anyone else encountered a need to cut into the rear fog light circuit?

Thanks in advance

OK, I found the following installation reference document HERE. Very disappointed by the supplier that they do not have an English equivalent guide (only available in German ).

Just in case someone else needs the document in the future, I have attached the PDF and also my English translation for the relevant section that describes how to splice in the foglights to the OEM wiring harness plug part from their harness.
