What system are you using for the trailer lights: Ford module, after market basic relay unit, or just direct connection with a buzzer?

I have a towbar, wired myself, using a basic relay unit.

im using a basic relay

Left Tail Lamp is Orange wire.

Right Tail is Orange/White

Left Indicator is Blue

Right Indicator is Blue / Red

Brake  is Green / Black or Green / Red or Green / Yellow, depending on point of access.

Reverse (if needed) is Green / Orange on hatchback (or Green / Black on estate)

I took most of the connections from the bundle in the boot on the right hand (driver's) side, just reverse & LH indicator had to be wired over from the other side. I used reverse to silence the park aid. The Ford system has a pin that can be grounded to disable it. For my after market unit, I had to use a separate relay to turn it off when the reverse light came on.

Power for my relay unit comes from the rear power point (cigar lighter socket), which has its own 15A fuse. Hatchback may not have this, but the same wire goes to the plug for the Ford tow module, it may be an Orange wire. I had to put a switch in to the power to the tow relay, which also enables the park aid when relay is turned off.
