A few weeks ago, I had hooked up to my caravan and switched on all my lights to check they were working. I walked to the back of the caravan and they were going through a sequence showing each set of lights one after another. I have no idea what I did to produce this result but it was a great help in doing this routine check. Unfortunately, I have been unable to repeat it. Has anyone any idea how to do this?

What else is there to go wrong? The lights are controlled by the computer in sequence rather than switches.

I think its a great idea and should be extended to the car's lights. It would make a walk around before a MOT to check the lights so much easier. And mean you might check them between MOTs to.

oh, you mean like once a week? ;)
 
I actually think an auto light check is a pretty good thing when you on your own.

How about this then.



Personnally if you cant reverse a trialer dont tow 1 forward in the first place. I actually find it easier with the big trailers than the little 1.

We actaully have a trailer light tester thing, you plug it in to the tralier socket and push a button it gives green lights if all the lights are good.
Handy bit of kit.
Does the car plug too:).

You have obviously not toured the countryside. I am currently heading for the North of Scotland. Walls and windows are far between. Thanks for the chat everyone. I shall persist in my attempts to repeat the event and let you know if I succeed.
 
Well that was disappointing...Obviously my FL2 is just the wrong level of sophistication as I can find nothing in the menu to trigger the light show. Would have been really useful as my regular co-pilot seems to think that standing directly behind the caravan is the perfect place to let me know if the lights are all working. She then gets cross when I ring her mobile to explain her error and shouts from her hidden position, waking up the entire campsite.

Must make sure she doesn't read my posts :rolleyes:
