Are the N type tow electrics plug and play or plug and pay dealer to activate ?

Yup, as bpman says, get the correct LR Part (number LR005920), and it just plugs in to the car. All the electronics work straight away (such as the dashboard light shaped like a green trailer telling you the indicator on the trailer is working).
Up under the drivers side rear wheel, right at the back, above the crossmember (on a 110, best to lie on the ground with your head behind the back wheel) there's a feeble plastic flap with 2 screws - the connector is under there.

if you do get a new one take some time to waterproof it when you fit it - I used vaseline on all the pins/connectors. My original had corroded badly, the wires were all black so rewired using marine grade cable. Should hopefully stem corrosion for a while.

I meant to add, the genuine ones have gloopy silicone sealant over the socket end but I managed to take the other end apart and fed the wires through the rear of the x-member.

Tim, you must have some bigger holes in your rear x-member or simply more talented than me at hole manipulation |
