Does anybody know whether a relay is required when wiring in the trailer lights (just brake & indicators)? As a matter of course I'd think isolating the electrics like this would be a good way to go. BUT, according to the parts counter at my local garage the saab "towbar wiring kit" is just the wires with the correct plug on the end (for which £40 seems rather steep). Which suggests that either no relay is required or even that the existing "pre-wiring" is already setup to handle the towbar electrics (rather than just being a spur off the main loom), and perhaps would be confused if a relay was fitted! I can see it both ways - does anybody know exactly what the setup is here? If you do don't keep it to yourself :) g
