Dedicated wiring for s60

VOLVO TEE5 · Dec 30th, 2008, 17:20

Hi,

I have got a dedicated single electrics wiring kit for my s60 and it includes 2 fuses and a relay, however it says that there is a requirement for VARDIS for the fog lights in the instructions??

What will happen if i dont do this and fit the fuses and relay??

Thanks

You may well find the fuses and relay already there ....
The fog light application just turns off the cars foglight when the caravan is plugged in to prevent glare reflecting off the caravan back to you ..

When I did the towbar wiring on my S60 I never bothered getting the dealer to do the Software upgrade. As mentioned already it works perfectly apart from thr rear fog lamp issue.

THANKS,

the relay and fuses were not there so i had to put them in seperate, so when i plug in my caravan or trailer all that will happen is my rear fogs are constantly on?? dont suppose this would cause any probs to me??

thanks for the help all.

I dont suppose it will be very often you tow your caravan in very foggy conditions but if it was mine i'd pay the small fee for the car to work properly :-)
