Ford Mondeo MK4 Towbar fitting

[Rich Evans]

Hello!

I'm currently in the process of fitting a towsure towbar to my vehicle. I have purchased the universal electronics opposed to the dedicated wiring. There are what would appear on my tow bar (purchased second hand 3 big bolts on either side and there are 2 arms coming away, they are fin metal? maybe guide beams? does anyone know what these are for?

Also if someone could give me any pointers for the wiring up, would be very much appreciated.

Thanks in advance, Richard

Above is feeds connections for relay inputs, showing which side of vehicle located, suggest you get a 7 core tow socket cable (the one with 2.5mm single cable) and run along inside the rear trim, this fits fine on the estate and leaves a spare core fior future save having to strip later if needed, the 2.5mm core is for the main feed fed from I think FA11 in rear fuse box giving permanent feed,  if like mine you will probably find only one blade, so need a push on connector and feed thru a inline fuse to relay.

hope this helps

Just checked and confirm FA11 is correct and should be fused at 20A, the characters on rh side may or may not refer to your relay inputs depending on which relay used.

Yes, cant remember size or whether male or female, presume female but should be same as fuse pins, mine only had one connection in this position (Ford cost saving) and is fed from front fusebox via 60a fuse hence need for local 20a fuse.

Picture shown without cover so You need to file a small slot in the cover to allow cable exit and refit cover.
