05 2.2 Auto trailer warning light - AlhambraDriver
I would like to enable the trailer indicator bulb failure warning light on the instrument panel. Is it a new software code (it was with the Alhambra) or is it more involved? The car is an 05 (old shape) 2.2 auto.

I think if the Vauxhall tow kit wiring harness and relay are fitted ,then the trailer w/light will work as reqd .(car is pre-wired for tow bar)

Thanks for your reply. I live in Australia and it is not a legal requirement to have an warning light / buzzer for the trailer indicators here (but I would like one). My Zafira is not pre-wired at the rearlights (the dashboard warning light is present) and I have used a Holden Towbar and wiring kit . The wiring harness in the kit T's into the rearlight clusers using male and female connectors so the original wiring remains intact. The fuse box seems to have separate relays for left and right indicators. If I cannot use the onboard warning light I will have to use a buzzer warning in the boot.
