Installation notes
The cover is mounted on the outside of the left rear tool box. The two long bolts go through the hinge brackets, followed by the dust washer and dust shield. The cover is positioned to open upwards. Ensure correct fitting of the toothed lock washers for proper earth connection of the socket.
Compatibility
Early slat grille jeeps and the first script models did not have a factory-fitted trailer socket. This was often added as a field modification. Later produced vehicles received the socket fitted from the factory.
Historical context
The trailer socket with protective cover was introduced during wartime production to enable reliable electrical connection with 1/4-ton MBT trailers. The cover was essential to keep the 6V electrical contacts operational under severe conditions.
