53 plate xc90 Volvo 7pin wiring- 13pin (perm + and -)
Quick one here, my 53 plate XC has the proper Volvo towbar wiring for 7pin, it has a grey multi plug on the o/s, the plug go's into what looks like the original unmolested Volvo wiring loom, I think the "fly" lead has been purchased at some point and plugged in, on 7pin it's fine but I need 13pin for the new caravan, simple fix and fitted the 13pin plug and wired in but I could do with a permanent live and another earth for al-ko ATC, I'm thinking of taking a 12V perm off the live split block next to battery and running that down to the plug, then a earth from anywhere suitable. Anyone tried this at all?
(Reason for doing this as apossed to buying new wires is that the car was cheap and I'm trying to keep my costs down!) FYI the lights all work on the caravan with the new wired 13pin plug. |

Here are my notes from when I fitted the 2 7 pin sockets to my V70 and then, later, changed to 13 pin.
I use this with Alko ATC. I needed to fit a relay and a couple of fuses. I haven't bothered with the fog light over-ride. On the Trailer Wiring PDF, the "Loom Colour" column refers to the colours in the pre-fitted loom in the car.
