Well, what a ball ache of a few days i have had.
So, monday night the missus says, tomorrow can you fit the tow bar to the Boxer.... (Its only been sat there for 6 months..)
now it would not be too bad, but where we have a hydralic lift in there, they modified the floor with extra brackets, hoses, and earthing points. Lots of fiddling and grinding later its fitted, so Tuesday night i set out to do the electrics.
No problem, Wednesday morning go to pick up a rented trailer, and guess what, no power. These stupid little boxes they give you....... so i took it out, and had power, not alot, but enough to get me out of trouble.
It turns out, that according to the instructions, White which they say is reverse, is in fact earth....... so tonight i made a small test rig, It only tests indicators, side, and brake lights
But i had the litle amplifier box re-wired in and all working with in an hour thanks to this little rig,
so, if any one in the local area (Eastleigh and surrounding areas) wants to borrow it, feel free
its saved me going and getting another trailer to test my electrics. Now i know they work perfectly and as described on the packet.
