Trailer hitch/Towbar electrics help needed

[Bdc101]

If by "13 pin connector" you mean the trailer wire plug (we don't have 13-pin connectors in the states, we have 4 or 7 wire connectors) then that cable is no longer available. It has been discontinued for at least five years. There is a reproduction harness on ebay but it may or may not work for you. I do not know if the cable is different for UK models.

I’ve only ordered tow bar and control module.
All I need is the part number for 13 pin cable only, I know what to do with the rest.
Thank you anyways ��

Sorry - hadn't noticed two similar questions in one thread from different posters...

The factory loom is part number 61116906348 - it goes from the 12-pin cnnector in the truck (X393S) to the 13-pin Euro connector.

You would also need the 13-pin housing - part 61131378999

That aftermarket loom (nice find btw) is made by Westfalia which I believe made the original OEM loom.

There is full-time +12v on the loom, feeding pin 9 on the Euro 13-pin trailer connector (I use this connection to trickle charge my battery) - so you can wire this to the trailer/caravan and then the 'fridge.
