Mercedes CLA 118 Tow Bar Problem

1
I have installed a Tow Bar on my Vehicle. The problem is, that nothing happens when I actuate the switch. I then noticed that the control unit indicates the Tow Bar has not been initialized (Image Initialize).

But i can´t initialize ,upon checking the actual values, I saw that the Tow Bar is listed as "unlocked"!?
However, it *is* locked.
I then proceeded to measure the wiring.
Measuring between (Image Schematic)Sens_GND and Sen_2 (Pins 5 and 7): Pin 5 shows continuity, but Pin 7 does not. I tried grounding both pins, but the status display in the actual values did not change not even when I actuated the switch.(Image Values)

When the Tow Bar is locked. Witch SEN2 Pin 5 & 7 has continuity.
