Lupo/Arosa towbar wiring

Post by piglet14 »

Before I start hacking into that lovely German wiring is there likely to be a plug anywhere?

I believe it can all be tagged off the add on connector on the rear light bulb holders

Is that on both sides?
Am I looking for something on the loom or on the cluster?

Both sides. It actually on the bulb holder itself. Youll see some spare pins on the back of it

Ideally youll want to use the side that has the reverse light

You can see the extra pins here - granted its a 6n2 but similar.

That's got to be better than chopping wires.
Where can I get the plugs?
Or would 1/8 spade females push onto the contact blades?

Sadly no aux socket on the Arouser, back to the old way.

Why on Gods earth do the indicator bulbs have offset pins? and what are sold as?

Managed a tidy job, not hard to remove crimps from connector shells, wrap, solder & click back in.
