Thread: Flashing LED Trailer Lights

You need a pulse shunt device.

Common problem.

Lee Bourgeois has developed a fix for Land Rover.

Thanks gents.....pulse shunt it is (although binning the LED lights might be cheaper)!

Cheers,

If you want the trailer light on the dash to work you need more load on the trailer. The easiest way is to leave the LED's there and add a couple of repeater lamps with incandescent globes on the side, you may get away with only 10W. (Only for the flashers of course).

Cool......some clearance lights on my 6x4. Let me play around with the wiring on the weekend. Who knows....it may even diminish the pulsing.

The "expert" at the trailer place suggested that is was the electronics sending a signal to the trailer plug to determine if a trailer was connected. Given that LED's require only a tiny amount of current to light up, every pulse causes the lights to flash. Also, the trailer light on the dash no longer flashes as it used to when the original globe lights were fitted.

Has anyone else come across this, and if so, is there a simple solution (other than ditching the LED lights)?

Thanks,

Jeff

you can get load resistors that sit in parallel, yes parallel. Check with repco or the like. That will cure the little dash light not flashing but wont cure the pulse problem.

Mine pulse as well

hi can you tell me if i will have the same problem with a new van that has bulb tail lihgts but led side lights
