My frankenfender has a multi plug behind the rear crossmember

it looks pretty new - but I don’t know exact what loom was used

does anyone know whether there are different versions or if it’s got one it’s for a standard LR tow bar socket?

Fitted to all Defenders from 1999 TD5 to end of production in 2015, as well as the D2 from 1999 to 2005



It's used by the 12N 7-pin socket kit for all of the trailer's road lighting.

Additionally, it has a permanent live and reversing lights circuits in it, which are use for the 12S 7-pin socket kit, as well as the the EU 13-pin socket kit.

The 12S kit requires the 12N kit to be fitted.

The EU kit plugs-in to this connector for road lighting.

Both the 12S and EU kit require additional connections via a VSS and relays in the vehicle's battery box.

The genuine Land Rover kits are a little more expensive, but the quality, is way ahead of the ones offered by Br(Sh)itpart.
