I dont think Halfrauds would even know what a 12 pin Military plug would look like, let alone have a diagram for one :wink:

Colours wont do you any good - you'll need to go off pin letters - all of the cable in the trailer lead will be yellow!

Cant rememeber the pin id's now but might have a link or a picture lying about, I'll be back in a bit..............

OK I knew this was somewhere, just couldn't lay my hands on it though

This is the VEHICLE socket, not the trailer plug end, but you can back track the pin outs directly to the plug

Remember if it is a 24v trailer, you need to change all light bulbs, including number plate light, dont worry about the convoy light, you wont be wiring it up anyway :wink:

So there's only one circuit for the tail lights :?

Yep, funny layout but works, had to wire up a socket unit on two vehicles, and it worked first time on the original trailer plug, all lights worked on trailer

I have a spare 12 pin socket and was going to make up a converter for the trailer 12pin to standard trailer plug for the disco rather than wire another one into that

Knocked that up while I was playing with mine, could never find it when I wanted it online, sick of black and while line drawings :lol:
