Hi,
I've just purchased a used towbar, fitting the bar seems straight forward but i am not sure about wiring it. It has twin sockets with a spagetti of wires, with Honda plugs on the ends. Is it possible to do it myself? (i have reasonable mechanical skills) Also anybody have a clue where all the plugs plug into? It is a gen Honda detatchable bar.

unless your your good with alto electric its not that easy.
Al i no is you need 2 feeds from the battery going through a relay.

Hi i tow with a 2.4 ex and fitted my own towbar and electrics and you MUST use a dedicated wiring kit to cut out any risk of damaging Transistor switched lighting circuits one of them being the foglight Circuit. I got mine from Towequipe ltd

Hi, thank you very much for wiring instructions they will prove invaluable. the type accord forum is possibly the best forum for accords i've found. my local dealer won't give any advice just want to book me in for the work. I own a 40 year old Jaguar do all my own work and enjoy improving it as i do my Honda. I sometimes wish i worked in a garage as i enjoy getiing my hands dirty.
thanks again
Darren
Ps its a saloon by the way

Wasn't sure if you have a saloon/tourer so have included both.
