Towbar Wiring Instructions Ford Focus

Piggy back the new on to the old one.

unfortunately with the regulations as they are you will have to have the tow bar fitted at an accredited towbar shop as you will need a modification plate fixed to the vehicle fire wall by the registered installer. If you have a machinery inspection and there is no mod plate then you will be put off the road

A Ford Focus is not suitable to fit a tow bar to.

Towbars are fairly simple, if the towbar fits the frame, you are all set, if it doesn't, you have the wrong one. If there are holes that line up, use them, if not, you can drill through the frame very easily, it is soft steel, Put some bolts in there that go through about 1/2 longer than the frame parts. Support the towbar with a jack, make sure it stays put. Drill a small pilot hole first with about 1/4 inch bit, then go to the hole size of the towbar, 1/2 inch. Those step bits work great, put in the bolts, tighten them up, all set. As far as positioning this thing, I would make the ball stick out just past the bumper, if no hole line up. You don't want to be smashing the trailer into the bumper all the time, so make sure it is enough, but not so much that you trip over it. Hope this helps.

You can wire directly to the rear light wiring behind the trim carpets on both side, however you must use a bypass relay system on the indicator circuits as the flasher unit overloads and switches off if more that 1 extra lamps are connected. Best use a test lamp to check which wire does what.

All wires that you need are behind the carpet in the boot on the left hand side, there is a blue connector there, best to use a test lamp to locate which wire does what.

probably you have to open the tail light bulb and connect the wire there

seek the help of an auto electrician, one wrong wire and you can toast the ecu.
