The TOW-1010 is an advanced automotive towing relay and lighting control module designed for controlling the rear lights of American and other import vehicles that require a towbar to be fitted. The module dramatically simplifies the wiring assosciated with such an installation and features various inputs and outputs, including a length of 7-core trailer cable to allow direct connection to a 12N trailer socket. A length of 2-core cable is also provided for direct connection to an aftermarket fog lamp. TOW-1010 also features our unique one-wire self cancelling fog light controller, and will switch upto 30A of current in total.

TOW-1010 is designed to control the rear lights of American and other import vehicles where the brake and indicator signal cannot be separated. The module takes low-current indicator feeds from the front lights, and a low-current brake feed directly from the brake pedal switch or from the high-level beake light. It outputs these signals at upto 30A (total) to the rear indicators and the trailer socket, controlling these high currents in complete safety and with complete transparency to the vehicle's existing lighting control module. A tail light input is also provided which enables the internal fog light controller. Additionally, a buzzer output is provided which sounds when a trailer is connected and the indicators are on. The module features high reliability automotive-grade relays and is hermetically sealed in epoxy resin for resistance to the harsh automotive environment - it is designed to be mounted under the rear bumper or wheelarch of the vehicle.
