12s Trailer Socket

[MadJax]

Does anyone know what the 5 wires are used for in the white 12s trailer socket.


I am in the process of replacing both the 12n and 12s sockets with a single 12 pin flat socket, as apparently all new caravans (will for the last 2 years) come with this type of socket.


Thanks

This will be good for the wiring but the orientation on the D4 from what I understand is a little rotated. The 12s 90 deg anti clockwise. The 12n 90 deg clockwise. I assume the same for the D3 and RRS.

Epic,


Thanks for the quick reply, but the diagram is for the UK Spec Tow electrics.
The existing 7 pin (12s black socket) is wired (or I hope it is)

And the 12s socket I disconnected only has 5 wires
1. Yellow/Brown
2. Red/White
4. White
5. Orange/Blue
7. White


Cheers

Hi MadJax,
Here is a link to how. I solved this problem of connectivity to Flat 12 Pin

Nice write up John Paul. I gave the diagram I posted ^^^ to the tow bar place that did my 12 pin conversion. They said it helped them a lot but not sure how much they used it. I've yet to buy my camper so only time will tell if it all worked!

I didn't worry about the load resistors and relays either. Made up a plug for the trailer LED lights with a load resistor built in.
