Bush Tucker Man:
Sorry I ought have added that, I ask as the 12N trailer supply socket is totally kaput & I might start 'from source' when I sort it out.

drum:
On mine atleast it's a standard plug in harness, which is only about 18" long. Which reminds me mine needs replacing.

I assume that the 12N kit fitted to mine will be the LR harness that just plugs into the female socket behind the off-side internal light cover, as the socket itself is a LR branded item.

I was just thinking 'worst case scenario', if someone has 'bodged it' & hooked in at the fuse-box for some unknown reason.

'Trailer Tell-Tale' works on dash, in conjunction with hazards & a single flash upon indicating, so the relay itself is (presumably)okay.

3 days off now, so it'll have to be added to the 'To Do' list, after the vets tomorrow & the DVLA office

drum:
That's the beast, it's a standard replacement part from LR, mine is somewhat flatter than it should be, don't know how that happened :oops:

Bush Tucker Man:
I sorted the 12N socket out this afternoon, if only to take my mind off 'other things' :cry: (same reason as I'm on here at the moment)

The worst problem was getting the old socket off, for some silly reason I couldn't find a HSS bit big enough to drill out the Phillips screw heads.

So out with the pliers & hacksaw.
Twenty minutes later it was laying in about 10 bits.

As usual the wiring was a mess, all corroded & a sodden socket interior.
So I've taken the chance on the corrosion not being too far advanced into the supply cabling & simply cut back slightly & replaced the socket with a new one, & copper-greased the bolts this time.

Now I can get all the rubbish from the past 2 weeks with no binmen in the I-W & off to the tip
(& have some lights on the way)
