What is this silver box please

[gavinwibrow]

Any one know what the silver box with 2 ties around it and a top and bottom cable is please?
It's in the left hand rear panel just above where the jack would normally reside.
There is also a small black switch just to the rear of the CIG plug above, which I was told was an on/off switch for when you have a fridge or similar attached, but?

I'm in the process of setting up to do the resistor mod for LED fitted trailers.

Looks to me as if someone has already done a resister box for you

Definitely not factory fitted. Try switching the switch then start the engine and indicate. If you then get the trailer symbol the resistor mod has already been done.

Or it might be a low voltage cutout.

I personally would open up the box and have a look.

Any stickers on the box? Id agree thats a set of load resistors for towing.

Yes, I wondered about that possibility - will have to hook up the LED trailer when I can get to it and see what happens.

No stickers, not eve any inscribing, just a black cable in and out.

Shouldn’t need to hook up a trailer.

Just flick switch on and go try an indicator.

I agree with everyone else. I have the same except mine has something about being an led trailer module on it. You don’t need the trailer connected, just flick the switch next to the power point and you should get the trailer symbol flashing in time with the indicators. It should also turn the reversing sensors off.

You will all be pleased to hear you were right and the mod has already been done! It was the fancy enclosed box that threw me!
Anyone need a LED trailer kit going very cheap as in free, rather than have it sit here for years unused. I've actually ended up with 2 sets of pairs of resistors and 3 way switches - none of which I can think of an alternative use for, given the plan is the tug is not having many mods done.

My only other hassle is that a local auto sparky firm fitted for the PO wiring for towing plus an extra rear Anderson plug, but put all the active connections just in front of the starter battery. Will have to undo much of that to fit Tim's dual battery system in that spot (unless I leave the second battery to sit in the back in an ARK case?)

I’d rewire it personally. The 1 hour you spend doing that will be offset by the pain in the neck the Ark will be IMHO

Its only a couple or resistors and a 3 way switch for each set - value about $12-$15 at most, but PM me with address and I'll work out postage and see if its worth any "postage only" charge or just a complete freebee. I've been the recipient of many pass it forward outcomes, and happy to keep the wheel turning for the good'uns on this site.

No worries, if anyone local can pickup then they have priority, i forgot it was the parts and not the box - i can go to Jaycar and get the parts.

The silver box is a LED trailer light adaptor made by Linear Electronic Design (LED)- so yes same abbreviation!
I've got mine + switch in same location. Regards, David

Are you sure [emoji41]
All my kits use exactly the same housing [emoji12]

And cost me significantly less to produce.

My humble apologies Tombie! I wasn't aware of your product being the same - indeed if I'd known back in 2014 I would have saved my $$$$ and bought yours. I stand corrected!
