    D2 trailer light flashes- no trailer connected

    Hi guys,
    wired up an LED light bar yesterday on its own provided harness
    (so power and an earth)

    however since doing so- perhaps I haven't noticed before then-
    the green trailer light on the dash flashes with the indicators, despite there being no trailer attached.

    I did change the trailer plug to a 7pin flat from the 7 pin round a week ago but haven't noticed the light before then- I left the 7 pin round connected as it had 3 other larger gauge wires running into it(didnt want to terminate them and will eventually run both styles of plug), which look to have been for a camper trailer or the like(perhaps a brake controller) but as i said, hadn't noticed the dash light until this morning.
    (drove it last night after install and didn't notice the light)
    The only other thing ill mention is that i accidentally shorted the system while trying to remove the fusebox- but ive driven since then and all systems are still OK.

    Ive checked all the on vehicle indicator lights- all good, and the under bonnet trailer fuse is intact.

    Any other solutions?

    I did fit a bullbar the day before (Sunday)
    hadnt noticed it before then,
    but the indicators on the bullbar are tapped straight into the front indicators..
    i guess its causing enough extra load on the flasher system to make the circuit think theres a trailer attached?

    Update-
    Checked Outback1's suggestion
    Exactly that.

    So anyone aware of a fix or an LED plug in replacement for the ARB bar indicators?
