Ford Mondeo TDCi 13 Pin Electrical Kit - don williams
Has anyone experience of having the Ford MONDEO TDCi 13 Pin Electrical Kit for Trailer Coupling (ie tow bar electrics to enable a caravan to be towed)installed, in particular the wiring up of the 12v fridge circuit and the battery charging circuit. The accompanying Instruction Book only devotes one page to this subject and does not provide relays, wiring etc to enable these circuits to be connected. Ford Technical are hazy as to whether this will affect the car\'s Warranty or the car\'s reliability.My car was built 22.12.03 and purchased by me in last two weeks, I am the first registered owner. I now have the task of instructing the Dealership to wire up these circuits or not, the rest of the kit has already been installed. This seems to be a grey area.

If it's the Ford Kit then the warranty should be unaffected.

Given the complexity of modern car wiring (multiplexing etc) I would entrust this job to a Dealership workshop. You could end up with a lot of trouble...
