One thing I would recommend to anybody fitting their own sockets to do, or even get the dealer to do is:

Pack the rear of your sockets solid with petroleum jelly or waterproof grease. This will help keep away most or all of the oxidisation on the inner screws and terminals + that which has the habbit of travelling up the wires and corroding their cores. Water will always get in and although usually drains away, some will always seem to stay.

I would also after each trip just spray the insides of both sockets and your plugs with WD40 or similar to again help prevent same. You will be surprised at just how much this increases longevity between electrical faults/bad connections etc.

I would use Tri-flow rather than WD as WD can damage some plastics

HI

Im new to all this but I've just fitted a genuine ford tow bar electrical kit(Ford P/No 1075447) to my ford focus and the new Hazard switch has 9 connection and the old one had 3. I am told there is an adaptor but no one knows the Ford Finis code for it.

Has anyone else had this problem or do there know what the part no is???

Any help would be great.

Hello, I apologise for popping up in this thread but having read it from top to bottom I am still not sure of my ground.  I want to fit a towbar on my 02 Ford Focus  Zetech Hatch 1.8 and have identified a kit (Towtrust) and single electrics for a reasonable price.  However, I am unsure as to whether I need to fit a relay, I am only intending using it for towng a medium sized trailor. I think not, but would appreciate  confirmation of this and also if Towtrust is a reasonable make (if one is allowed to quote "preferences" on this forum).

Thanks,

Malcolm
