Towbar Wiring

[lovro]

Hi There ,
I red all the towbar treads but didnt found those few answers.
I bought a genuine vw towbar kit for a T6 2015 , it seems to be the same as the westfalia .
The connection to the front fusebox ,the point 17 in the instructions, is it supposed to remove the camber 30 or the camber 22 for the T6 ? Can anybody confirm the camber 30 is the right thing to do?
thanks.
Also under one of the seats I have a connector that belongs to this wiring kit but the explanations didnt mention this one . Its a black connector with a yellow and brown/white wire , do you know what is the porpose of that one
Thank you

Lovro

Can you post up the instructions you are looking at?

Regs the plug under the seat,i believe this picks up on a fog light feed. Some early vehicles need it, later ones obtain status from the can bus instead.

The point 17 is now the problem . I have a blue/black wire to insert in the fuse box in a camber 22 or camber 30 but on both positions there isn't a blue/black wire.
On chamber 22 there is a 5A fuse with a red wire and 12v stady output . On the chamber 30 there is a 10v fuse with a thin red/white line .
A blue black wire in the fuse box is in a complete different position .

On chamber 22 there is a steady 12v output while on chamber 30 only when I insert the key

Reading those instructions I would say ignore chamber 22. The instructions say chamber 22 for a T5 GP, but you've got a T6, so chamber 30 is correct for you. It doesn't say what colour the existing wire going into chamber 30 is, it just asks you to remove it, plug it into the 1-pin housing on your harness. Plug your black/blue wire into chamber chamber 30 and then connect the one pin housings together.

Hi Chris , yes I also think its the correct thing to do .
Thank you

ok..so i think they are trying to pick up on an ignition live feed to power the tow bar module.

How interpret those instructions (which i agree are confusing!) is if you have a T5..use fuse 22, if t6 use fuse 30 (and on the 3rd line where it mentions 22, it really mean 30). The reference to the black/blue wire is from the towbar harness and not the the vehicle wire colours.

i was a bit slow typing there...but it sounds like we are all in agreement!

as an electrical guy, i'd much rather a wiring diagram and an end goal as opposed to the painting by numbers approach some instructions take...which as demonstrated here can be confusing.
