Sounds like leccy bits, to me, Mate.



I'm not safe with leccy stuff (can't see the colours . . . )

check connections into the rear indicators (and check the bulbs)

yank indicators are wired a little different due to the amber running lights, so opposed to euro cars (where the indicators flash faster with a bulb gone) yanks flash either slower, or not at all.. by adding a trailer boarrd, you are giving the relay the load of two working bulbs again, thus is is able to flash..

the relay will require two bulbs working (excluding repeaters) for it to flash, so the one on the car, plus the one on the trailer board is showing the relay ample load for it to flash..

i will check all bulbs in the morning and let you know what happens. thanks
