Mine are definitely still staying on, is yours a series 1 or 2? And do you have the front parking sensors too or just the rear ones?

Ok thanks, so I'm guessing you have that plug empty then too, do you also have a white plug that's empty on the tow harness over the other side behind the 12v plug?

Who fitted this towbar with the claimed-to-be genuine harness ?
If it was holden take it back and tell them they stuffed it. If it was someone else double check the harness is genuine, my guess is it is a fake.
Also, i thought there was a switch in the trailer plug of the genuine harness which switches off the reverse sensors when a trailer is plugged in ?

It's definitely a genuine harness I bought it myself at a Holden dealership and got another dealership to fit it all up

Thought you must have fitted it your self. Make the useless dealer fix it and check everything as he is not a good tradesman.

I was thinking of doing that, it all looks plugged in properly so Im guessing it could be an issue down at the trailer plug itself. If only I could find the instructions that explain the wiring down at the plug (mainly the 8th and 9th wire)
