CAN bus errors expected with rewiring a hitch connector ?

[Stefan666]

Issue !

My 2006 got a hitch , and i intend to use it .
However, the smart sensor ( aftermarket bosal ) seems to have broken down )
replacements are non existent so its seems.

I want to wire the plug in the old ways ( split them off at the rear lights ? )

I can expect to run into troubles ?
( so far a jumper-cable-test seems to give no issue's )

But as its going to be a hell of a job fiddling around in the small space, might as well ask before i start.


in short, will my Jazz become angry when i direct-connect my hitch-light-plug into the system
like we did in the ye-old-days pre-can/bus computer stuff  ?

MK1 Jazz does not have CANbus, neither does MK2 - just conventional, fuss free wiring....... CAN seems to be a German thing...they love their complications, and customers having to buy a complete lamp module rather than just a bulb...   You may have problem with direction indicator flashing speed if you do not fit a relay for indicators or an electronic flasher relay ( which the flash speed is independent of load ) as the relay in vehicle works on the load of 2 x 21Watt bulbs ( about 3.5 amps ) to give correct flash speed ( between 60 and 120 flashes per minute to be legal ).

So the answer is yes, you can wire plug in the old way...

I am now relieved ..

And can confirm , as it works

I accidental lost my patience and figured "what could go wrong"

Few hours later, that Bosal pos box is out and it is now hardwired in.



Indicators works good on my  ( led ) test kit,  will hook up the cart later on, running into daylight issue's here.


thanks !


So .. for google :

Yes, you can hardwire a hitch connector into your rear lights of a Honda Jazz 2006

And , no .. don't get the bloody bosal smart sensor whatever tow-hook-kit   ;p
