Thread: Re-wiring towing electrics - Brisbane Auto-Electricians

Hi there,

I've just become the proud owner of a 2012 Range Rover Vogue Autobiography. Beautiful car - but I'm facing my first challenge. I'm trying to work out the best approach to getting the trailer electrics set-up as I take ownership of a new caravan next May and have an existing van that I would like to tow in the meantime. The car has a black 7-pin trailer connector - and a white 7-pin trailer connector. I need to get a RedArc trailer braking controller installed - and the existing cabling re-configured to suit a 12-pin flat connector and Grey Anderson plug. I have a quote from ARB Springwood - who Land Rover recommended - but I'm keen to get a second opinion as I'm not 100% certain that they are familiar with the car.

Is there an auto-electrician who specializes in these vehicles in Brisbane? I've attached the wiring diagram from the caravan manufacturer (don't need the ESC Connector).

Here's the wiring diagram for the MY10-12 L322.

If you were to use the LR sockets then pin 5 of the black socket is currently used as a 2nd tail-light feed. This wire has to be cut and used as the trailer brake feed. I intercepted mine just inside the boot where the harness enter the spare wheel well. My brake controller is located in the rear fuse panel area with the cat5 cable run under the tread plates to the controller at the front.
