How to easily wire up VW T5 TOWBAR Electrics - Part 2

[@markrichardson7082]

Great video. I will be fitting a tow bar to my vw transporter 2007 t32 next month and this will certainly help me. 👍👍

Thanks for the feedback and let us know how you get on. You can do it 👍

Hey that's a fantastic video. Clear and concise 🙂 Does this way not make it throw any errors with CANbus or anything like that? I had thought there needed to be some jiggery pokery done so that alarms didn't start flashing on the dash.

[@YoucandoitwithJules]

Hi for the vans 2009 and before (Ie T5) all good. Later you need a relay setup but shouldn’t throw any errors unless a light out. Hope this helps. You can do it 👍

[@iDiveDOTtv]

@@YoucandoitwithJules Cool. That sounds nice and easy then. I didn’t really know what the can bus stuff was but seems it’s just super low voltage or power. Knowing I can bypass it with relays and not throw a light is good. Thanks for the video 👍

[@sambrookhouse4775]

Great video. Did you have to fit anything/ spacer to pack out the towbar to enable the rear bumper to fit correctly?

[@YoucandoitwithJules]

Sam Brookhouse Hi just seen this question. No I didn’t have to pack anything it fits perfectly. That’s with a Westfalia TOWBAR. If it’s not that make then I can’t comment. Hope it goes well and let me know 👍

Hello there I have just purchased a tow bar for my 2007 vw transporter 2007 t5 / t 32 and with the tow bar is a really would your advice be to fit the rely or just go straight into the loom. Many thanks

[@YoucandoitwithJules]

2007 straight into loom is much easy and doesn't effect the electronics. Keep us posted of what you do. You can do it 👍

[@markrichardson7082]

Thank you for your reply. Will keep you posted. I maybe a little while until I get chance to fit the tow bar but I will message you 🤜🤛👍

[@markrichardson7082]

Hello there again its been a while but today I actually got round to fitting the tow bar and as promised I would let you know that I went straight into the loom with the electrics and up to now no issues. Many thanks again for your help. Take care 👍:-)🔧🔧

Hi I've a 2010 t5 can I wire it straight in the loom I thought Cambus was for led lights

[@YoucandoitwithJules]

If it's can Bus which was Facelift T5.1 then no, check on Rosstech website for more details on can bus. www.ross-tech.com/vcds/canbus.php Let us know how it goes. You can do it 👍

[@CheckEnginePlusMinus]

[@YoucandoitwithJules]

Pleasure hope you got it wired up ok. You can do it.

Hi where did u get the look from please mate

[@YoucandoitwithJules]

From the eBay. Uk. You can do it

[@BeauMadeline]

Hi. Where did you take the positive power supply from? Cheers.

[@YoucandoitwithJules]

Hi I’ve just spliced into the cables in the wiring loom. If you are talking about a main positive for a caravan I haven’t wired that up in this video.

[@BeauMadeline]

@@YoucandoitwithJules no worries. Cheers mate. I've ran 2 cables to tge engine bay. Managed to find a good easy access not far behind tge battery. Thanks for the reply. Think I'm sorted.

[@YoucandoitwithJules]

Nick Oliver Hi, yes there’s a hole in the bulk head behind the battery, if you take blackpanel out behind the battery. I cover it in my video about mains feed into the van. You can do it

[@YoucandoitwithJules]

Also on some vans there’s a positive mains feed under the left hand seat ( also covered in the video) You can do it 👍

I've tested the wires... Wire 1 and 3 both respond to the direction light to the left. Completely confuses me.. Any ideas anyone? I wish I could just find an diagram of the car wires there,.. but haven't found any after many many hours of searching.
