Frequently asked questions

What is the S17 single socket plate used for?
The S17 single socket plate is the mounting plate that carries one towing electrics socket at the rear of the vehicle. It holds the socket square and rigid so the trailer plug can be pushed in and pulled out without the cable taking the load. It is part of the rear towing electrics installation.
How many socket plates do I need for a towbar wiring kit?
One socket plate carries one socket, so a single socket towing electrics setup needs just this plate. Installations running two sockets, typically an older twin socket arrangement, need a twin plate instead. Check how many sockets your wiring kit terminates in before ordering.
Where does the socket plate mount on the vehicle?
The socket plate mounts at the rear of the vehicle, typically on or near the towbar bracket or rear crossmember, so the socket sits below the bumper line and within reach of the trailer plug. Exact position depends on the towbar and wiring kit fitted.
