Can anyone tell me how to stop the "Tow Assist" from coming up ?? I've looked at the wiring and I'm damned if I can see any breaks, exposed wires moisture etc. but once it rains the indicator on the dash goes into double time and its bloody annoying

I do not believe turning off tow assist will help at all.
You need to plug in and see if there are any faults codes and if not then you either have a faulty trailer module or issues with your wiring. If you do not tow, try removing and insulation the trailer plus wires to see if it resolves the problem.

Stewart, I published the photos I took of the crud that had ended up in my 12 pin trailer socket. Since replacing it and ensuring it never gets water in it again its all good.saeb wrote: ↑Wed Jul 10, 2019 2:16 pm I do not believe turning off tow assist will help at all.

Many thanks to you all for advice.

I had my indicators go crazy & when reversing it would think i had a trailer on when i didnt. Ended up being water or sand in the plug. WD40 sprayed in then contact cleaner fixed it
