Yes, blinker won't pulse without shunt, but still needs resistance(shunt), to activate tow stability, cut the rear sensors , and stop you from going to offroad height thru TR
And maybe to make trailer indicator on dash work, (cannt remember that bit for sure)
Cheers Ken
so it's half fixed - at least you then only need the resistor, lot simpler than what’s needed for D3 ect
Just ducked downtown and bought an adapter from Supercheap ($19.98 ) . Plugged into the D4 and my trailer - all works well. Trailer has LED lights.Quote:

The trailer indicator on dash would only work on the first 'blink', then nothing thereafter.
I suggest checking that the trailer indicator on the dash activates with each & every blink of the LED trailer indicators when using your Supercheap plug adaptor. If it does, please provice more details of exactly what you have got from Supercheap, perhaps even a part number or post a photo.
This has nothing to do with the Supercheap adapater - is just some wires with a connector at either end.
If you are are having troubles it is in either the trailer or the tow vehicle.
Did you put it into "rock crawl" and see if it went to offroad height by itself,the screen should tell you trailer attached and height not selected.Quote:

Apologies - missed the gist of the thread. I haven't got tow assist - my D4 is very basic - e diff only factory option. The plug adapter I bought from Supercheap is just a basic 7 pin round to 7 pin flat - all trailer lights operate and I don't have any indications on dash. Cheers WarrenQuote:

But, no green trailer indication lights on dash during indicator operation, means that the D4 doesn't 'know' the trailer is hitched, and therefore the Trailer Assist safety function is not operational.
Wazza, your trailer probably has LED lights & therefore you need an LED shunt so that the D4's Trailer Assist function operates.
