   HI, JUST WONDERING IF ANYBODY OUT THERE CAN HELP ME OUT WITH A WIRING PROBLEM.THE CAR IS A 3 SERIES E 46 320 DIESEL AUTO SPORT EST.WITH A FACTORY FITTED TOWBAR WHICH HAS A 13 PIN SOCKET.CIRCA 2003/4
WHEN WE TRY TO CONNECT THE ELECTRICS FROM THE CARAVAN( IT HAS TWO PLUGS , BLACK AND WHITE) USING AN ADAPTOR. THE BLACK PLUG WORKS FINE, BUT WHEN WE PUT THE WHITE IN THE GEAR BOX BECOMES INOPERABLE. MOST OF THE LIGHTS WORK APART FROM BRAKE AND REVERSING LIGHTS. WHEN WE DISCONNECT THE WHITE PLUG GEARBOX IS OK AGAIN.  THE CARAVAN WAS WORKING FINE ON OUR PREVIOUS CAR , A VW.
THE COLOURS OF THE WIRING ON THE BMW ARE VERY DIFFERENT FROM ANY DIAGRAMS I HAVE SEEN FOR 13 PIN  SOCKETS.
ANY IDEAS ????
CHEERS.
