Led lights on trailer

I know the D4 version can - I've done it.

I'll have to take another look at the D3 version.

Just been reading thry heaps of posts, it would be so much easier if you could edit the CCF to disable the constant pulses.

See - never a perfect - one size fits all solution.

Even if a “pulse buster” was installed factory - users would either want it manual/ dash selectable/ fully automatic.

There are plugs with reed switches, often used to kill reverse sensors, in some other makes - this wouldn’t work for me for example as I leave an adapter hanging from mine much of the time.

You raise a very good point Tombie ....

So just be aware of that.

Which is why the pulse buster should be fitted to the trailer.

I built my own and mounted it in a die cast box on the A frame. It’s not rocket science, just a few resistors in parallel with the blinkers. I also put resistors in parallel with the tail and stop lights just to be sure. Just make sure you get 8 ohm 25w resistors.

The pulses are designed to alert you that a light bulb has failed.

You can add a switch and permanently install in the left rear panel.

I had one from Linear designs set up like this but it failed after ab out 5 years and needed it urgently so built one from the schematic on AURLO. Just install a SPST switch in the earth link (black) from the relay coils to the vehicle.

You need to cut and join into the wiring harness that is accessible behind the left rear tail light. Mine are soldered and heat shrink over the 5 cables.

Doesn't matter where it is fitted - with all lights in the trailer blown, with a pulse buster fitted the dash trailer indicator will still show.

These were commercially available from an Aussie seller Labtronx

Yes but it doesn't need to do it constantly, once at startup would suffice.

Just to throw a spanner in the works, how would you go if you used LED indicator globes with resistors in a D3 ?
