What condition is the trailers plug(female connector) in? They can corrode terribly as they spend most of their life disconnected and normally open to the elements. You can get replacements in ali (I have a few of them of which you could have one for postage costs) or the normal standard plastic.

I haven't had a close look at the condition of the plug on the trailer, but there's a dummy socket on the trailer that the plug's parked in when not in use.
It points upwards so water may be able to accumulate in therr.
Definitely something to check over the weekend.

Thanks for the offer of the ally terminals, I'll let you know.

Hi, when you spliced the wiring did you earth the white wire on pin 3?

On the 8th Day God made the LandRover -
On the 9th day he swapped it for a Jimny.

I don't have the wiring diagram to hand but was the white on the plug to the black in the Jimny loom? That's me applying a non-sparky's logic that black = earth.....

Ok, ai think I'm going mad. Where on earth is the second fuse box??? The manual says under a panel on the underside of the dashboard on the drivers side. I've looked, there's no removeable panel, just the dash and he underside of the steering column shroud. All I can see are connectors and loom behind the dash, and all I can see on the passenger side is the ECU.

HELP!
