Windy Pig Posted April 27, 2016 Share Posted April 27, 2016 My trailer dash light has never lit, I've had the freelander a short while, it has a genuine L/R tow bar fitted, although I have only connected the 7 pin socket to the plug behind the trim in the back as I'll only use it for trailers or horsebox and not a caravan. I've been told it ought to light up when indicators are used and flash once even without trailer connected and then flash along with the indicators if a trailer had hooked on. Well it's never lit and all the trailer lights work fine. I guess it's not really an issue as it's all working, but it would be nice to know if a problem was to occur mid drive as I'm sure someone smashing in to the back of the horsebox because the brake lights have failed would upset my wife no end, and the horse I imagine. Might be wrong about the lights, but there we go. Cheers, M Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arjan Posted April 27, 2016 Share Posted April 27, 2016 Hmm.... These trailer lights on the dash work on a totally perfect electrical system and correct relay. We have repeater lights on the trailers as we do not trust the thing in anything Land Rover. You can try to find the source of the problem but it could turn out to be a long hunt...

tacr2man Posted May 4, 2016 Share Posted May 4, 2016 Have you checked the bulb ? The trailer light only warns that the indicators on trailer are flashing , nothing to do with brakes or side lights Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nodge68 Posted May 14, 2016 Share Posted May 14, 2016 You will also need the correct towing flasher relay for the dash light to light. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
