Volvo Towing Sockets
Hi Guys,
I have recently purchased an XC60 and had it fitted with the Volvo detachable towbar and electrics. Please can someone tell me if the 13 pin socket is fully wired to provide 12volt power for battery charging/ATC and fridge? I neglected to ask the appropriate question during the negotiations. Cheers David

My ATC works perfectly and I have no doubts about the fridge and battery charging.
Fairly simple to test just find the appropriate sockets and check with the engine running

The caravan is currently covered and at our storage site, so connecting the socket is not too easy at present. I will have to test the socket with my multi-meter for now. I was hoping to save getting down on my hands and knees.
Thanks for your responses chaps!! David

There seems to be some current limit on the towing module as when the caravan's 19 lights are on - car light's selector on Auto - the winkers and brake lights cause error messages. Tow on lights off - front DRLs are on - and everything's fine.

First question is what error messages do you get ?
second question do the lights actually work or do they behave strangely ? |

All lights on the caravan work fine. When I brake a warning comes up but i cannot remember the exact wording and it goes when I release the brake pedal. Winkers are OK until I brake as well and then they go to double speed. The Volvo dealer says it's fine; the caravan maintainer says that's fine and it does the same thing on his Tonka toy tow car. I think that there are just too many bulbs on the caravan!!
