Pull the fuse box forward and then unplug all the connectors at the rear. Note that the connectors use retaining clips
to lock them in place, so you will need to squeeze or press the appropriate clips to release the connectors.
Remove the fuse box and retain for possible future use (dealers please pass the unit to the customer).
Unpack the VLM6 and orientate it near to the mounting aperture in the caravan. Plug the connectors (removed
above) into the appropriate sockets on the rear of the VLM6. The connectors are colour coded and different sizes to
prevent them being plugged in incorrectly. Ensure the retaining clips click into place after inserting each connector.
Carefully pass the rear of the VLM6 into the mounting aperture and fix the unit in place with the 4 retaining screws
removed earlier.
4 Testing
After installation the unit should be tested for correct operation as follows:
Connect the 13-pin plug to the socket on the car.
Check that the fan on the VLM6 turns on. If the fan does not operate check the supply on the orange (+) and
white/red (-) at the 4-way red connector.
With the driver’s door shut, car ignition on, operate each light in sequence and confirm that they operate correctly
and no warnings are shown in the vehicle.
Now again with the driver’s door shut, with the engine running, operate each light in sequence and confirm that they
operate correctly and no warnings are shown in the vehicle.
Finally, check a combination of lights at the same time, like an indicator, side lights and pressing of the brake all
together. Confirm that all lights work correctly.
If a fault or problem is shown in the vehicle, view the fuse area on the VLM6 and look of a red LED indicator. There
are 2 red LED’s on the unit, one indicates a fault on the left indicator and the other a fault with the right indicator. If
either LED is illuminated or flashing check the indicator lamp units and associated wiring in the caravan. The
following phot and table shows the LED position and status.
