Thread: trailer dash light ?

If you have indicators on your bull bar, the extra load makes the electrical system think a trailer is attached.

Replacing one regular globe with an LED globe is one of several fixes.

My 96 disco does the same and it has electric trailer brake unit, I ignore it as it has given any probs

yea blinkers in bar but its a factory fitted aka extreme but its possible the bulbs draw more than the stock ones.....ill check that. {on a side the b bar lenses are so crappy and crazed that its likley someone stuck a brighter globe in }

yea ive been ignoring it to {not hard to do} just thinking that maybe ill fix it..

my 2010 110 crewcab pickup has done it since new, thought it was normal
unless it has something to do with the trailer plug

Check/clean (if necessary) the socket for the trailer plug. Might be some current drawing goo there. Had a similar problem once, that solved spontaneously, reckoned it was a shortie somewhere, most likely in the socket.

Thanks Larry, my 2003 130 does it as well, yes fitted with a bullbar with blinkers, thanks for that will try an LED globe!

thanks jojo and muddys1
could be plug relkated as well{its got a toyota plug on it !!!!} <---probably an an alergic reaction..
the said plug looks new and ill clean it out and check wiring when i try the bull bar globe idea ...could pull the plug of the rangie cause they work fine on it
