I was curios if the trailer dash light will light up if there is a trailer connected, using the non landrover part. If anyone has installed one of these let me know.   Teddy karous (Teddy) New Member Username: Teddy Post Number: 10 Registered: 04-2003 Posted on Thursday, May 01, 2003 - 12:45 pm:    Also which way have they installed it.   Peter Sharratt (Gummikuh) Member Username: Gummikuh Post Number: 81 Registered: 02-2003 Posted on Thursday, May 01, 2003 - 01:03 pm:    Hi Teddy Should light up, as the relay is still the same and if it see`s the extra load, it will light up. Hope this helps Pete S.   Sabine Dawn (Sabine_dawn) New Member Username: Sabine_dawn Post Number: 18 Registered: 04-2003 Posted on Thursday, May 01, 2003 - 01:27 pm:    Teddy, Here's a link for D2 wiring http://www.discoweb.org/trailerwire/index.htm The light will light up as Peter says, because of the extra load.

If so, you may have more serious problems than just being chased by a trailer.   Eric Lenser (Eric_l) New Member Username: Eric_l Post Number: 10 Registered: 02-2003 Posted on Saturday, May 03, 2003 - 05:51 am:    No Jason, you have a blinking tow light to let you know that your trailer lights are working, and that you are less likely to cause an accident or get booked for faulty trailer lights :/   david bullard (Bullard74) New Member Username: Bullard74 Post Number: 19 Registered: 07-2002 Posted on Saturday, May 03, 2003 - 10:35 am:    i have a d 1 i wired up as the picture shows,now i have parking light out on the side the plug was wired on,all bulbs are good and i am very curious where my problem is.thanks   Dave Smith (Javelinadave) Member Username: Javelinadave Post Number: 41 Registered: 07-2002 Posted on Saturday, May 03, 2003 - 10:39 am:    Check you shorts!
