Hi all I have purchased a Jimny setup to flat tow behind a motorhome.
All good apart from only the RHS park lights operate when connected via 7 Pin trailer harness from Motorhome.
The 7 Pin wiring harness has only been sliced to the Yellow wire, but the Red and Pink wires are also live feeding the park lights.
Which wires do I splice together to get both sides operating off the 7 Pin Brown wire feed.
thank you Ray.

Welcome to the forum. First off how old is the Jimny as the harness changes over time? Second and potentially more importantly when you say set up to flat tow behind a camper what has actually been done to accommodate this because they really don't like being towed with the rear wheels connected to the transmission?

Supplementary to my last comment I feel obliged to suggest you look at the information in this link. I'm not wanting to teach you to suck eggs or anything but it is useful.

Its a 2021 Jimny and it has the Dog Clutch installed to disengage drive shaft when in neutral. Professional Predator Tow Hitch all approved and works well.

Ah that's too new for me I'm afraid. Someone with one may be able to help.
