Tow bar GEN4 help was created by Foxtrot

Has anyone got the official Suzuki towbar on their GEN4, if so does it have a buzzer on it when your indicating to tell you that the electrics are plumbed in to your trailer?
I have had an after market towbar fitted which has got to come off as it sits too far under the spare tyre to attach my caravan hitch or my bike rack, the electrics don't buzz when indicating either. Its made by Brink so avoid it like the plague..

I thought the buzzer was a legal requirement?

See what you mean, its a little "under the vehicle".
Not sure why its got no indicator "tell tale", they may have used a straight splice connection or you have LED bulbs with no correction resistors in your trailer board. You can get repeater type universal electric kits that buzz or fit a buzzer module, they are very cheap.

As Soley said, a "tell tail" light or buzzer is a UK legal requirement.

A manufacturer can opt to integrate the tell-tail of the trailer with the towing vehicle's light control system, so maybe you need to look for bulb failure indicator on the Jimny rather than a buzzer???
