I tried to extract the plug with all the wires to the tow bar socket but without success. It’s obviously latched in place but I couldn’t work out how to release it. I’ll have another look at it in the morning.

It’s strange that the fuse for pin 9 blew and perhaps that’s related to the loss of power to pin 10, but how? Does pin 10 have a separate fuse other than the general 40 amp one that presumably covers everything apart from in 9. And how does pin 9 connect to the 15 amp fuse since pin 9 is powered from the trailer module?

Edit: OK, looking again at the instructions for connecting the trailer module I see that there’s no orange wire (pin 9) connected to the trailer module plug so pin 9 must be fed from the circuit that supplies the 12v socket in the load compartment - hence the 15 amp fuse 77.
pin 9 is separate to pin 10 , pin 9 goes direct to the fuse 77 which comes from the battery .

No , pin 10 comes directly out of the trailer module , have you got live going in the red wire to the trailer module and coming out at pin 2 on plug A going to the socket ? you need the ignition on of course .

yes you are right about pin 9 being fed by the same wire as the 12v power socket .

I suspect the trailer module at the moment ..
