This morning I thought that I would just connect the caravan to the car and check the wiring so that if there was a problem I had time to get it fixed before my first proper tow.
Everything seemed fine but the AlKo ATC would only come on when the ignition was on although the engine didn't have to be running. I am more used to pin 9 (?) being connected directly to the battery and not via the ignition. Is this OK or should I get it altered ?
yes pin 9 should be live all the time , who did the wiring?
