Thread: Power at rear trailer socket - amps?

I have an MY 14. Here is my owner's manual stating both are 15A.


And here is my glovebox panel also stating both 15A


And I also noted that the actual fuses are also both 15A but no photo.

Bit more of a limitation than previously thought!

Cheers,
Scott

Pete, the book, the sticker near the fuses and the fuses all say 15amp for both trailer circuits.

It seems that only topix and the wiring diagrams suggest higher Amps.

Maybe topix has blown a fuse somewhere

Hmm! Interesting.
Will ask the LR Gods & see what the Big Kahuna says.
Will find out which is correct & why the change.

I am working on the basis that 15 amps is OK for a reasonably well charged battery. Gordon from GOE seems to have used the plug on this basis with no problems for many trips.

As long as you can run a generator or have solar if not driving for a few days should be fine.

Hi Pete,

Have the LR gods come up with an answer? Not pushing, i know things are busy. Would just love to know why this change seems to have happened.

Pete.

Hi Mate,
The Info that was supplied via Topix & Owners manual was sent to the UK.
They are checking with Engineering to make sure all is ok or a boo boo was done.
LRA seem to initially think that there has been a change to do with Quiescent drain & overloading.
So i am in a waiting game with the UK & being Easter no one is in a hurry at present.

Cheers & will advise as soon as i find out.

Any news?

I mean, I know LR UK are slow, but.....
