Autotrail Dakota 2005 -Ducato base.
Checked all the lights today and discovered that the left turn indicator seems to operate the reverse beeper, albeit in a muted way. If I select reverse the beeper doesn't work at all.
The reverse light functions though.
The motorhome is fitted with a towbar and electrics (12N socket) I recently cut off the tie-wraps securing the cable to the towbar so I could repaint the towbar - cable wasn't disconnected from the loom. I can't help but wonder if this is where my problem may be.
A quick nosey underneath and it seems that no junction box has been used to connect the tow electrics into the loom; looks a mess of insulating tape.
Having said that, from what info' I can ferret from the net the 12N socket doesn't have a pin for reverse lights so maybe a red herring?
I can't find a wiring diagram or the wiring colour codes for the rear lighting, can anyone help with that info?
Finally, is the reverse beeper a simple connect from the reverse switch on the gearbox or would it be connected into the reverse light in the rear light cluster?
Looks as though I'm going to have a fun few hours, days even, grovelling around sorting this out!
Thoughts or advice gratefully received!
