Having an issue with my car to caravan electrics.

(2017 Ford and 2014 Swift)

I’ve had car and caravan separately tested with no issue found.

So my process.

I have my car engine off when I hook up the 13pin, then turn it on.

test my lights, all lights are working except fog and reverse.

I then turn on my 12v button inside caravan. The swift screen then shows caravan flashing green and car flashing yellow.

Any ideas why separately they work fine, but together they don’t?

Thanks to all those who gave advice.

I took my car to a different towbar/electric fitters (I’d taken it back to the original ones for testing and they said no issues)

Well, where do I start.

I paid for Fords dedicated system but a universal kit fitted. It wasn’t earthed properly.

And as to why the fridge, fog and reverse weren’t working.

They weren’t even wired up.

55mins of work and it’s all working.
