Bought my 2012 Freelander 2 TD4 GS last November. The icing on the cake was that it already had a towbar and 7N Electrics fitted. Yesterday I decided to test it out on my Caravan and to my dismay nothing worked. Anybody offer suggestions as to where to look, to find the problem. |

If it's got dedicated wiring it could just be unplugged. If it's something like this it will have a 12V+ fused feed and could be the fuse or earth connection.

Check fuse FA11 in the rear (boot) fusebox. |

7N only tells me it was fitted for goods trailer or horsebox, not caravan. I would guess you will find a cheap bypass relay kit, poorly fitted is your problem. Get it checked by a trailer/caravan towing specialist if you are not familiar with FL2 wiring. You really need the dedicated wiring loom which will come with 7N/7S or 13 pin sockets.

Thanks for the feedback. Using this I investigated and found what I believe is a Towing 7Way Bypass Relay and in addition the fuse FA11 appears to be missing. The problem is that the manual states it's a 40amp PINK fuse but all I can find are 40amp GREEN. Does this matter ?

I think a 2012 may be plug and play. When I had my 11MY computer activated they said later ones would not need it. FL2 11 S Black 😂 Gone Disco2 TD5 GS |

If you have 7N electrics only and 'smart relay' then its trailer lighting only, in which case FA11 is only needed and you can forget FA9 and FB5 and relay, these two fuses and relay are for fridge operation and caravan leisure battery charging whilst towing, 12S is needed for that.

Have already ordered a FA11 40amp and here's hoping that will solve the problem. What worries me is why it's missing, did the previous owner have problems and removed it ? Anyway I will soon know one way or another. |
