Hi all,
I am about to wire up a tekonsha primus iq brake controller to my VT wagon. I've got the brake feed / stop light wiring sorted, am going to run wires from the trailer plug to the dash area. The instructions say to wire the other 2 to a the positive terminal and to ground. It states in the absence of a "trailer tow package" ground to the negative terminal of the battery.
So, does "trailer tow package" in any way refer to the trailer plug at the rear, in other words can i run this earth cable from the trailer plug back to the brake controller?
What would be my best way of connecting to the positive terminal of the battery? are the any wires/harnesses I can splice into in the dash area?
I need to fit a 20A circuit breaker on this positive cable, too, it is metal, has no istructions, but am wondering if it needs connecting to the body of the car for earthing?
