The LR (Brink) tow bar and electrical plug was fitted by the dealer from new, but I don't have any electrical connection to a trailer or my bike rack lights when connected up

The plug on the car is the 13-pin type but I have to use a extra plug in this that converts to a 7-pin to suite the trailer/bike carrier electrics.

The trailer power fuses (FA9 & FA11) have been fitted where they should be, and I cant find any other reason for lack of power to the trailer/bike carrier electrics

Anybody any ideas what the problem may be, before I have to contact the dealer again  2007 Freelander 2 HSE TD4 Manual with Premium Pack & Moonroof.

It probably needs a system reboot You could try disconnecting the battery for a few minutes and then reconnecting it. Mine needed this doing after the dealer fitted the towing electrics, but after doinf it you need to reset the automatic window function.

I was told when doing a battery hard reset

Remove both the Pos and Neg leads from the battery and hold these together for 20 secs Former Mod/Member, with the most post & Chicken George Arch nemesis

Stealer told me you need a software update or electrics will not work - I presume they did this

Don't forget that when you have your bikes on the back the reversing sensors don't work

In fact I had realised that, but I will only be going forwards when this is fitted  2007 Freelander 2 HSE TD4 Manual with Premium Pack & Moonroof.
