Thread: D4 not detecting trailer wiring

I just made my own from information on this forum. I chose to make it a box that plugs in between the trailer connector on the car and the connector on the trailer. I could have hard wired it into the car between the car wiring and the car's trailer plug.

Thanks Garry,

I have done a fair bit of reading on this forum but what I really want is a nice small module that could probably be built into a standard plug adaptor. Something like the Ford Ranger ones:

Those box style ones that you linked to are ridiculous. I don't want that thing hanging off my trailers. You would basically have to cable tie the damn thing to every different trailer you used with LED lights.

Double sided velcro ties work great.

I don't think you will find what you are looking for.

Why not hard wire the LR one into your car before your plug and you can just plug in any trailer without issue.

Good luck with it

If he hard wires it into car it will make the car think there is a trailer connected all the time

The modules comes with a switch to turn on and off as needed.

Thankyou

Oh yes if it's a linear elec in car module they do - the way I read the post it seemed it was suggested to hardwire in one of the inline trailer types into the car

Folks,

Bought a s/h caravan with led rear lights. Wired up a 21w globe to the right hand indicator circuit. Car recognises the van as the little man on the dash appears when using the RH indicator BUT the reversing beepers and camera are still in full function.

Would anyone have any clue as what isn't happening here or what to do?

Cheers, Simmo

With the engine off, try opening & closing the driver door to re-latch the circuit.

Cheers,

Gordon
