Subject: Re: Towing electrics on a Saab 9-5


I have found out a bit more. On the 2002 9-5 Estate the socket on the wiring loom in the spare wheel compartment takes either a cable for a 7 pin (12N) socket OR a cable for 13 pin socket, the latter costing about £48 from Saab. I believe this covers the reversing light, continuous power and power via ignition but I have not confirmed this yet. What I have not worked out is if there is any provision for a visual or audbile warning of indicators-in-use, there does not seem to be a dashboard lamp so it may require a buzzer fitting in the back. The wiring loom socket has an extra loose blue wire which may be something to do with it. If anyone can help, please...
