TRAILER LIGHT HOOKup
I am so LOST & CONFUSED.
I have a 2001 Discovery 11 that came with a Class 111 Trailer Hitch Receiver. I also have the drawbar and ball.
BUT I CAN'T FIND THE BRAKE LIGHTS hookup. I have been told that i need an accessory lighting adapter kit....I noticed in my owners manual that i have under my right rear tail light cluster a multi-pin trailer lighting socket.
So i have a socket. Is this all i need? DO i just plug the trailer light plug into this socket? Or do i need more?
WILL SOMEONE PLEASE TELL ME WHAT I NEED so i can pull a cargo trailer.
And how to install. I do not know why the socket is under the rear lights.....When i haul a trailer this harness goes where??????

Hey Mike,
Thanks again for helping me.
I found the item at Atlantic British....
I could not find my PLUG inside the RR tail light. But of course i did not have a flash light and perhaps did not look closely. I read in the INSTALL instructions at AB that i should see a grey mounted plug....I think i did see a grey thing in there.
Again, Thanks
Gordon

RE: TRAILER LIGHT HOOKup
HEY MIKE, another question.
I have noticed recently that everytime i turn on my Disc when it is the 1st start up of the day that my aux fan starts and runs for about a min. Yet when i return home the fan does not seem to start up. Perhaps the engine does not heat up to warrant the fan, but i seem to think that the fan always came on when i got home.
I am assuming that since i hear the fan it is not a blown fuse...or could it be?
I am not sure if any of this makes sense.
