J12 plug on mfc-01

[ricm]

Yeah it's a safe mod. But I think 'towing mode' only increases power for 1st gear, so motor power is not affected by connecting J12 pins together for 2nd and 3rd gears.

So I can join the two wires, but do I have to put anything in the J12 socket? Thanks for the info.

take the coupler switch lead with MFU connector on the end.

cut off the switch.

solder the green and black wires together on the side with the connector, remember to insulate the join properly. best way is to use heat shrink tubing.

plug the connector back into the MFU, so that the MFU pins for J12 are now shorted together. This simulates the condition with the coupler switch closed, which happens when a trailer is connected. The MFU will deliver power to the motor accordingly.

Thanks for your help. Will get on that this weekend.

keep the switch, somebody might want it!
