Pin Brake Light on Trailer Tow in-line connector at Rear of Vehicle
DescriptionItem
Third Stop LightPin 8
*If an existing third brake/stop lamp is already
fitted, or if the power exceeds 21W, an
intermediate relay must be used.
For Van, Bus and Kombi, the signal should be
derived from the 6-way connector to the rear
light assembly, pin 4.
Additional Position Lights at the Rear
of the Vehicle
The feed for position lights only at the rear
(bottom / top) can be taken from the licence plate
lighting connectors: left and right. For the correct
pin, please refer to Figure E84727; the maximum
load is 10W per side.
NOTE: Any additional position lights should be
taken from the licence plate lights, and no other
source.
In order to avoid electrical issues due to leakage,
and to ensure connector compatibility, a mating
connector with seals/plugs and pre-crimped wire
& terminal should be used. See Adding
Connectors,Terminals and Wiring.
NOTE: Position lamps (front and rear) only
function with the lighting switch in positions 1 or
2; however, the same bulbs are also used for the
parking lamps. There are two operating modes
for the latter, both with the ignition key removed.
1.Ignition off, master light switch to position ‘P’:
all 4 lamps are on.
2.Ignition off, master light switch off, move turn
indicator stalk to either left or right position (and
leave in): tell-tale and chime will operate briefly
and parking lamps (2) on the side selected will
be on.
The position and parking functions operate
independently.
When the position lights are extinguished, the
side marker and end-outline markers turn off
simultaneously, in line with InterRegs No 48, which
states the following:
5.11 - The electrical connections must be such
that the front and rear position lamps, the
end-outline marker lamps, if they exist, the
side-marker lamps, if they exist, and the rear
registration plate lamp can only be switched on
and off simultaneously. This condition does not
apply when using front and rear position lamps,
as well as side-marker lamps when combined or
reciprocally incorporated with said lamps, as
parking lamps and when side-marker lamps are
permitted to flash.
