I went to storage yesterday to bring the van home to wash and polish it. When i connected my black plug i had no offside indicator i managed to get the van home and checked the back indicator blub which was ok so i checked wiring in the black plug which was all in order, I even put a new black plug on and still no joy, so i used my 12v tester to check if there was a feed from my car to trailer plug and there was, then i checked the rear of caravan and nothing. I think i'm going to have to re-wire the light to my Caravan and was wondering if anyone has any experiance in doing so?
what year is your 500/5 ? we have 2003 model.check the earth / negative wire to the light is not corroded. the first bailey we had the wires went to wiring block on the underside of the van.our fuses are situated near the mains box/opposite.a bank of of fuses.on our older van they were at the front of the van under the seat.

------------- the only silly question is the one you do not ask.
Thanks for your reply, our van is a 2004 model, when you say its essential that pin 6 is wired through a split relay are you referring to plug 12s? Also would you know where the Earth/negative is on the rear lights, i removed the rear light and there's two wires going to lamp unit one green and one white cable i presume the white one is the earth but i would also presume all the rear lights share the same earth?
Thanks in Advance....
ps any ideas on best way to re-wire the back lights?
green (pin 4 on plug) is live and white (pin three)is the common earth/negative for all the bulbs.if you email me through the site i will do a photocopy of the diagram pages and email it to you.

Hi michael that link is not working for me for some reason... My Email is klw00 at hotmail.co.uk please would you email it to me as i'm going to have no hair left at this rate.........What's your Sante fe like for towing?
Michael, do you know the little rubber gromits where the rear light lenses screw into? I was wondering if you know where i could buy them from as they popped inside the back panel yesterday...I will let you know how i get on...Where abouts in Lancashire are you from? Just seems weird that the o/s indicator won't work...
you may need to use something like this as the rubber bits are not available.i used these on our old van.fix it in first then remove screw and fit lens.make sure the right size is ordered as there are so many.
