Iโ€™ll be interested to know how you get on, fingers crossed you can get it working with a bike rack
Ok. So update. The original installer had not coded the Brink towbar to the vehicle and missed a fuse!! Result was five error messages.
Local Brink dealer had to code (maybe re-code) to the car, reset the relay and insert a fuse. Now working fine.
I am not sure if it was the original installer or an issue with the Brink wiring harness.
Now it has all been reset will try again to see how it goes. So fingers crossed. ๐Ÿคž๐Ÿผ

Unfortunately the Brink towbar has caused the same issues with warnings (and an extra one). Also car wonโ€™t drive and has yellow warning triangle.

Back to the drawing board!!!

Sparky50, I have a 'Brink' too, its the one you shove in at an angle, but the rear RH-indicator wont blink: and I see volts jumping around at 3 or 4 V on the meter, yet LH-indicator shows 13 to14 and lights up fine when hooked up, I see a yellow graphic 'lamp', warning on the dash. I'm getting on to the installers first thing tomorrow.

Sounds a nightmare guys! Keep letting us know how you get on. I do hope you get it fixed. Iโ€™m going to hold off buying one for now
