Thread: D3 Caravan LED Lights - Issues

Hello All,

I currently do not have a issue with the LED Lights yet. None of my Trailers / Campervan have LED Light Fittings.
I think it is interesting how the whole Trailer Detection System could have been so much simplier for all Discovery Owners with the simple swicth on the Trailer Socket Cover.

I wonder how durable such a system really would be though? Note that on the D4 (as opposed to the Holden), the detection of a trailer does more than just turn off the parking sensors. It also reprograms the suspension and transmission settings. For that reed switch to work with the rest of the electronics, there'd have to be a local area CANBUS controller for it to feed into, and probably a few other bits and pieces as well.

Short story is - it's not that hard. It's just different. Wire it correctly and it will work - for the all-up cost of a few dollars for a load lamp/resistor.

Cheers,

Gordon
