My 04 Disco2 trailer harness is not in the right/passenger side tail light(U.S model). Not in the left one either.
I looked underneathe, and there it is on the driver side, without enough slack to have came from the tail light either. Seems factory, as no wires are hacked.
I just thought it was strange, because everything I've read says it should have came factory inside the passenger tail light.
Is there anywhere to buy a harness to connect to a standard 4 pin trailer harness, without electric brakes?
The couple of harnesses I have seen are $100-$120!
And it didn't specify if they had electric brakes, and if so, if they came with the adapter to the 4 pin.
I know LR parts are expensive, but $100+ for a wiring harness is ridiculous. I don't want to cut/splice anything either if at all possible, just plug it in and go.
I'll only be pulling a 4'x6' open trailer with a 4wheeler or mower on rare occasion.
Does anyone have any advice on what or where to buy?
Thank you

Trying to load pictures now

 

Left/driver side rear

 

.....

 

I just read where the plug I have in the pictures above is actually for a rear parking distance sensor, an option my 04 SE doesn't have.
But, there is still no extra plug or harness inside/behind either tail light. Only the factory harness coming through the body, and going only to tail light bulb sockets.
Nothing elses.

 

This is what I did years ago to get a 4 pin trailer harness.

Select "tech" at the top of the page.

Than scroll down on the left side to "Trailer Wire disco2".

 

I've wired universal trailer boxes before.
I'm trying to avoid cutting and splicing anything though.
Mine has no factory harness behind the tail light either, makes no sense.

How To Install A Trailer Wire On A Discovery 2

 

I did this last weekend. My trailer wiring was behind the right tail light. I cut and spliced four wires for the harness.

Ground: Black
Left Turn Signal: Green With Red Stripe
Marker or run lights: Red with Black Stripe or Red with Orange Stripe
Right Turn signal: Green with light blue stripe
Brake: Green with Purple stripe




I just used a generic 4 flat connector like:
https://www.etrailer.com/Wiring/Hopkins/HM48110.html

I think it was $7 at oreillys.

Uhaul allowed it, worked for brake lights and turn signals.

 

If you connected five wires to a four-wire plug, won't you be shorting your turn signals across each other when you have a trailer connected?

 

You're correct, I didn't connect the marker/run lights. I copied that from another thread I was looking at
