ticking noise
Thrasher:
Any tracker fitted in such a sloppy (eeek scotchlocks!) way would be worth avoiding! :twisted:
mike142sl:
I don't seriously think it's a tracker though.
Range Rover Blue - The wires are all part of the standard loom and the 12S cable connects to the box of tricks behind the boot hatch on the Near Side, so it's impossible to see if that's what they connect to.
mike142sl:
Had a reply from the Tow Bar fitter who says the small round tube appears to be a rear mounted audible relay which on putting the towed unit onto your vehicle will make an audible buzz + you may get a visual trailer flashing on your dashboard, Secondly the oblong box is a voltage sensing split charge relay which is used in the white socket for charging your caravan battery and running the fridge etc. If the battery was flat on your vehicle then the split charge relay will turn itself on and off as it is checking the vehicles voltage and as such if the battery voltage gets too low then the relay will turn off and back on until the vehicles battery gets to full strength.
All makes sense now, although strange there is a second audible unit as there is already one with the near side kit fitted by Land Rover - hope it helps to answer the original thread.
Mark2Disco:
well that explains things for me
towards the end of 2006 i noticed the caravan battery
was running low and wasnt getting charged up by the car
i thought it might have been a problem in the caravan ,but know ill
look at those relays
probably best just to change the both of them
thanks for the info

:roll: DOH just realised that near side kit is the Parking Distance Control ECU, the audible unit there is for that :? So the added unit in the O/S is simply for the trailer - What a plank
