12v Supply to Rear

bradams · Jul 31st, 2024, 13:22

I am planning to install a mobility scooter electric hoist in the back of my XC60 (Jan'16). Before I start ripping out the side linings, can anyone tell me if/precisely where there is a decent 12v power supply in that area (preferably on the right side)?

Take a look on the volvo accessory web site for your particular model for fitting the towbar wiring, there is a heavy duty 12v supply plug in the rear to connect to the trailer wiring you could use.

Two steps forward, but one step back. I haven't opened anything up yet - just read up various installation instructions - and they all describe plugging the kit wiring loom into an existing multi-pin socket on the right side. But I only want ONE wire/terminal (+12v permanent). Can anyone tell me which one?

Best bet to use a multimeter to test which is postive

Its going to be a thicker wire, Unfortunately the wiring diagrams are dealer only from 2016 new range models.

use a multimeter and check which is live all the time ... do the instructions mention fitting a fuse in an empty space in a fuse box for this feed ?
