Is it still in the main bar?

That will be your problem!

Yeah it's still in the main bar I'll take it back to Damien to get sorted, how does it work as the rear wheel goes out and retracts. A photo wouldbe great if you get a chance.

I moved mine down there, you have to adjust the plastic mounting plate to fit in the holes. Extend the wires to mate up with the existing loom cable tying them as you have for the light pole.
Worst part is:




You have to remove the bumper again to get to the sensor & wiring.

I also fitted another spring to return the release lever back to the closed position, it's a pain without one as you have to remember to push it back down prior to closing the carrier.
(This maybe why you are having trouble closing yours)

Don't have a pic here.

You're supposed to splice a longer wire into the loom for that sensor and run it up and along the arm to the new sensor point...

Similar to what you have for the light...

Hope that makes sense...

Thanks Rich I have thought of doing the same re adding a spring

G'day Rich it looks like such an easy fix you wonder why they don't do that at the manufacturers.

Thanks heaps

Nice build up. I am about to do exactly the same to mine.
Can you advise what each phase cost you?
I am getting wildly differing quotes for ARB bar, wheel carrier etc.

...and did it take long to have all the gear fitted?
