Ford Kuga towbar

We have a 2017 Ford Kuga with a fixed Alko towball complete with the back plate no problem with the sensors.

The Zetec model does not have provision for a dedicated wiring.

has anyone had a problem with a 13 pin electric's on a ford kuga. New tow bar and electric's but fog light's won't work and fridge stay's on with engine switched off. Anyone had same problem and can tell e how to fix it.

Drc - we tow with a kuga 2016 model with a detachable swan neck. We have no problems with the parking sensors with the tow bar fitted and the caravan not attached. 

No issues with the fridge/fog lights. We had our towbar fitted and recoded by a Ford dealer.

Thanks for your comments.  I have a fixed bar on my current car so will go with that and save myself £100

Hi drc, I have a VW Tiguan with a fixed tow bar and in the cars software for the sensors you can have them reset to accommodate the fixed tow bar, just something you can bare in mind, maybe kuga`s do not have this option who knows.

I had a fixed towbar with a protection plate behind the hitch on my Mk 1 Kuga. Never set the sensors off.

Not sure who you are buying off, but any decent fitter should by now be able to know how to fit a tow bar without it affecting the sensors.
