Vehicle system and function
The trailer connection unit detects a coupled trailer and switches its lighting via the 13-pin socket. It reports lamp failures on the trailer to the instrument cluster via the CAN bus; the rear Parktronic is switched off in trailer mode.
Installation location: In the luggage compartment behind the rear trim, mounted with a mounting tab and screws; on the W203 fused via the rear SAM.
Condition: Used genuine part, type plate fully legible (HW 4901, SW 0502). Housing and connector chambers undamaged, top with scratches and light soiling.
How to recognize a defective part
  • ● Trailer lighting not working at all or in part
  • ● Trailer is not detected, Parktronic does not switch off
  • ● Turn signal indicator light flashes fast in trailer mode
  • ● Corrosion or moisture in the control unit
