Wiring for a trailer on my 97 Disco

[arkrover]

I need to purchase a wiring harness for my 97 Disco. Any info will be helpful. Where, what, how to install info all needed. Not really wanting to cut or splice any wires, is there a kit that i can jus plug in?

so does a 98 Disco. already have the female end of the harness setup?
If so where is it at?

behind the passenger side (USA model) tail lights... you just open the little compartment and you will see it.

I was reading through other threads, which showed a uhaul part 13486 (converter box 3 wire to 2 wire like the british atlantic part above) could be a low cost install with minimal splicing for the disco 1. Before reading the thread i actually did install the part which worked fine for a while until i was towing a trailer and my alternator went out. when i had the alternator rebuilt i was told there was a short in the car that caused it since then i have removed the uhaul part and i havent had trouble since. after doing research for the alternator it seems that it had symptoms of it getting ready to go. Anyone have any ideas? or other low cost alternatives?

-98 disco 1 nothing special

Thanks

I used a slightly better part that required separate power source for the lighting, it was more of a high class relay. There is a 12v power source back there, just add a fuse and tap into it. Work great.

Hey Joey;

Wow! That's a great price I wonder how they are doing that as they are beating Brit Pacific by over $100.00 and BP is normally cheaper than AB; must be made in China (lol).
