    Fitting a Redarc TowPro to a GUIV

    Hi guys,

    Well I have bitten the bullet and purchased a Redarc TowPro for the GUIV. I did a fair bit of reading and felt the TowPro auto Calibration on the fly was a winner.

    So a couple of questions to begin with.

    Where has everyone installed the single dial controller? Very interested in pics please, especially in a GUIV.

    When I had my alarm fitted the installer fitted the warning light to that little panel on the right side of the steering wheel wheel Cuppa has his.

    Show me where you put it.

    Also, I am replacing an old controller. Should it be expected that the wiring colours will be the same? What is the best way to test colours? Does anyone have a list of colours for your towpro.

    The only good thing about an 80 series is..... the front end?? Wrong!!, the Engine?? Wrong!! the Full Time 4WD system?? Wrong!! Its the NissanPatrol.com.au stubby holder fitted over the transfer lever.

    When I tested everything it was showing about 5v at the rear trailer plug pin no. 5, which increased to just shy of 12v when the controller was turned up to 10 and I applied the brakes.... however the controller led's never worked - no green, blue, red light or otherwise.... given I didn't have a trailer connected is this to be executed?

    Should the redarc led's be lighting up during normal driving without a trailer?

    Bacho do you have the wiring detail you used? Wondering if it will transfer from my existing controller which is stuffed

    This is in mine, later model.
    Just above traction button, had to cut out inside of the cover with a sharp chisel.

    Thanks GeeYou8. Appreciate the pics. I have my Sub tank switch where your controller is and then 2 carling switched below that for spots and roof lights.

    How did you fix the module up in there? Do you remember the wire colours?

    Anyone else got pics?

    There are a couple of brackets that hold wiring, I fitted a piece of aluminium flat bar between them.
    I only remember blue wire for the brakes & red was the brake light signal, both connect at the trailer plug. A length of whipper snipper line makes a good snake for pulling the wires through the conduit. Wires comes though a cable gland fitted where an accelerator cable would run if it had one.
    My sub tank switch & rear aircon are the two next to the cigarette lighters, can't see from driving position.
