Can anyone help S60 towing electrics

flufftec · Mar 19th, 2014, 11:03

Hi all,

I have a S60 D5 on a 51 plate and have fitted towbar, I have a plug and play electric socket for it but cant find the grey plug in the boot, would it be that it doesnt have one or am I missing something,

Thanks in advance

Mine is bi fuel, so I found it in the left side of the boot where the fuse box is, I believe the normal S60 is in the spare wheel well behind the plastic panel which runs along the rear panel.

Thanks,

Iv looked everywhere but cant find the plug,

what faults would it bring up if I was to wire it up the old way?

ours took some finding,ns near battery under the nice grey carpet that is on the inner wing or i the channel by the battery.

i would suggest you don't do the wiring the old way as it could. and probably would throw up problems.

Or just pay the 30 quid and buy the volvo plug and play wiring harness

I have the tow bar electrics with the plug on the end I just cant find the plug to plug it into or do you mean there is a different way of plugging it in?

Hi all, thanks for the advise, I found the plug taped into the loom, behind the light,

On the wire there between the grey plug and the 7 pin plug there is 2 extra plugs 1 3pin and 1 2 pin plug with white casing, any idea where they plug into?

Sorry for being a pain but I didn't have any instructions with the plug

Thanks

This is just a guess but possibly reversing lights and caravan fridge/charging.
I believe all these are present in the large grey plug on the 51 plate cars.
but you may need extra fuses and a relay in the REM to get it all working.

Glad you found the grey connector, all the threads seem to say "by the spare tyre and battery"; wrong - in the side panel just behind the rear left lights; follow the main cables from the rear electric module down to the bumper and you'll find it there.

If you don't mind my asking, where did you get the plug and play electric socket from?

"by the spare tyre and battery"

this is where it is in the V70 2000 /2005
