Hello everyone!

I just purchased a 1996 Discovery SE7. It's not the finest example of the species, but it's good enough for my purposes, which is that it will live up in the woods in Vermont for general tooling around, hauling stuff, and towing the occasional trailer.

Which brings me to the problem. I purchased the trailer wiring adapter from Atlantic British and it arrived today so I tried to put it in. The 7-pin plug has been cut off the wiring harness in the Disco. I'm hoping someone can help me figure out how to sort it out. I looked at RAVE but the wire colors aren't labelled (or I can't decipher the diagrams).

There are a bunch of wires in a wrapper, all cutoff, some taped together:
3 solid red, 1 black - taped together
1 red/green
1 purple/brown
1 green/white
1 green/purple
1 green/brown

Does anyone have a wiring diagram for the trailer socket? I assume the striped ones are for the trailer, what are the 3 red wires for?


Also - anyone have any tips for replacing the top light bulb on the driver's side rear light? I can barely get my hand in there, much less turn the plug. It's very tight

Thanks in advance for all of your wisdom!

 

Never mind! I changed my terms for the forum search and found what I needed. Sorry to waste everyone's time. I can't figure out how to delete this post...

 

Hope you have also found the RAVE, the factory shop and electrical manuals, free links below.

 

Be careful towing, lot of qwerks to it. Do your trans flush beforehand and be gentle with it.

I have been having tons of issues with towing...

 

oh and after my tow inspection see what I need to work on for my disco, driveshaft is ready to blow, I actually dont know how she stayed together...
