Tow-bar wiring for Omega B
« on: 26 May 2013, 23:43:10 »
Hi,
Having a tow-bar fitted to my Omega this week (would have had it last week only the company sent me the wrong one).

Having concerns about wiring it, I've read somewhere that the brake lights need wired through some special box behind the glove box?
However i have also read this on the Vauxhall owners club:
"the Omega and Cavalier, both have a plug in the boot. With the Omega, I had to put an extra fuse in, to power the plug."
Which is most likely to be the case? My father (who is a mechanic) has every hope that its just like wiring any other tow-bar, however I'm not so sure  :-\

Anybody have any ideas?

Thanks!

The fuse mentioned is to feed the socket for the caravan's charging & fridge circuits.  :y
