Does anybody know where the towbar wiring connects on a 740 estate ? Is there a grommet entry point somewhere ?
Cheers, Mark

Hello Mark,
I cannot comment regarding the 740 but on my 1992 940 there was no such connection. I had to use a bypass relay and a smart relay and “pick-a-back” from the wiring harness behind the rear nearside load area trim. There is a thread on here somewhere that I used for guidance.

You have two choices Mark, either do what Ian did or take the feeds for the trailer wiring from upstream of the BFU - your Haynes Book of Fantasy (HBoF) will come in useful for wire colours etc) and run the 7-core all the way to the electrical unit behind the ashtray.
