Factory Fitted Towbar
#1
My J has the factory fitted removable towbar, I'm pretty sure it was done as new as when the trailer has a light out it displays on the dash.

But I get no audio/visual warning when my trailer is connected and indicators on, a blessing yes as the buzzer is annoying, but as a legal requirement I thought it should have some form of indication.

Any suggestions on whether I should have an extra buzzer/light and why it aint working?

Cheers

When I had aftermarket electrics fitted I had an audio sound when indicating.

Since fitting the factory module and wiring I have no audio sound.
Astra-J 2.0 CDTI S/S
Retrofitted AFL, TPMS, Navi950, BT, DAB, Rear Camera, Infinity sound system, Towbar, Flexfloor & more.
I can do programming and retrofits using genuine GM MDI and Dealer software.

Strange considering it's a legal requirement

As I see it you don't have to have a audio sound as you have factory wiring so it will tell you through the canbus if you have a bulb out or faulty light. Don't have a towbar on my Astra but that's how it works on my s max with factory wiring.
