Hi
Any clues on what the trailer relay does in foscan, trying to get an ignition feed to activate in the plug to trigger a DCDC charger in the trailer.
Have found the pink wire to number 8 and thought this might activate but no such luck
Cheers

There is no ignition feed to the trailer socket. Pin 8 is permanent battery via Trailer Module, Pin 9 is permanent battery from Fuse 64.

Any ideas why I wouldn’t have any power in pin 8 and 9? What’s common to both? Fuses are both ok. Cheers

Currently trying to figure out my own trailer connector and having a similar problem. Did you make any progress. I'm confused as to which pin I should be using to power the batteries in the van, ie pin 8 or 9.

None, cable not heavy enough. Need minimum 8B&S twin from the start battery with DC-DC to Anderson Plug.

Install DC-DC in Ute with cable 8 B&S twin to Anderson plug. DC-DC can get ignition from fuse box under bonnet.
