tow bar not stowing away causing flat battery
has anyone experienced any issues with open circuits on electric tow bar, second flat battery in just over a week and this time when fired up by JLR assist guy warning chimes came on showing tow bar not correctly stowed, but not when I stowed last Friday.

tow bar will not now deploy fully or retract fully without pushing in place Shocked

Starting to panic 5 week holiday on the continent coming up next Tuesday with van on back.

If it needs parts and they cannot get them gonna see if they can deploy it , lock it in place then disable the system till I get back.

First experience with deployable tow bar wished I'd gone fixed Crying or Very sad

John
