    No gauge, just the factory warning light.

    So when's a gauge going in. Very smart move especially if you towing a fair bit. Like all the factory warning lights / gauges they don't really tell you anything useful
    Time is never wasted when your wasted all the time



    WARNING: Towballs used for recoveries can, and do kill people and damage property.

    Hadn't decided on that. I was just going to move the cooler to a better spot, but should do both.

    Thanks. I still think of it as being more Chaz's than mine. It wouldn't have been anywhere near as good without his help.
    I think the WAT one is a lot simpler, but lacks the protection of not turning on in park or neutral, or the ease of turning off with the brake pedal.

    I think it's number 26. Might've mentioned it above, but the best idea I've seen for testing is to stick a sewing pin into the wire, and use your multi meter on that.

    If you want one as simple as that in a GQ, you can just put a relay into wire 22 of the TCU. I think Chaz's design makes the system a lot safer though.
