XC90 Tow bar and electricals
 

Good morning sage ones,
I bought an 06, 1 owner, full service history XC90 D5 SE from a Volvo dealer just before Christmas. So far so good. I asked for a got a fresh years MOT with no advisories.
I paid a very reasonable price and believe the salesman (foolish i know) that the previous owner provided a folder with every invoice and every item bought on the car since they supplied it.
I bought a Witter Tow bar from ebay that came with PCT automotive Towing interface relay and Volton 12 volt supply thingy all wiring and two sockets.
The wires only have the soggy ends and not connectors.
I do not have a problem with how to trace relevant cables but hate chocy block connectors and have read that using these can fry the electrics.
I just want a simple connector for the trailer board. No frills, just the wiring from socket to loom or advice about connecting the interface relay if necessary.
So far love this car as it does everything it should, every thing works as it should. I feel it may be too good to be true and my wife will kill me if it fails, LOL!

Buy the genuine electrics kit for the car bin the pct rubbish.

Genuine will plug straight into a panel in the car and not cause issues and gremlins but may need “coding” or enabling on the software, recommend a chat to seller or specialist locally for a price.

Don’t want to invalidate your warranty on a good buy.......

Of course you got the folder with all the details in it to check.....

Ih yeh,
Big blue A4 binder and stamped service book.
Where to get the harness? at a reasonable cost?

Find the Volvo part number and ring a few dealers one may have an old stock one they want to shift


I would start with the supplying dealer, eBay and local Volvo specialists
