Thread: Weird wiring issue

I hope a simple mix up of the wires in the trailer socket, is all that problem turns out to be.

Not for discussion here but to say, if a diode that has been fitted into the head light circuit, then there is a possibility that the diode is biased on when the headlights are switched on, then a accidental reverse current flow in a wire could occur.

Then take that the rig to an authorised auto electrician, as those sorts of DIY induced faults, do step over the line of what is a fair topic to discuss on this forum IMHO.

I could delve into this problem deeper, but without some hands on measurement giving some meaningful feedback, then it is all guess work with confusion the end result.

He is taking back to land rover seeing as though they wired it the wrong way around.
