Hi,
County 110 reg '85 - symptoms and what I've done below . . .
When hazard lights are turned on without the trailer attached, the dash trailer-tell-tale light flashes but the indicator light does not. (potential MOT failure).
Otherwise electrics all work fine - ie indicators when turned on cause the dash indicator light to flash etc
I replaced the trailer socket on the landy (old one rusted and gunky).
If I plug in the trailer, external trailer and landy lights work fine (note caveat below).
However with the trailer plugged in:
the dash trailer-tell-tale light remains extinguished even if I turn on the side lights.
if I turn on the hazards the dash trailer-tell-tale flashes but the dash indicator lights still do not flash
if I turn on the indicator (left or right) all external indicator lights work fine, the dash indicator light flashes as normal but the dash trailer-tell-tale flashes once and then stays extinguished.
My gut feeling is that there is an earthling problem somewhere - either that or something is miss wired (garage at last MOT played around with the electrics - long story not worth recounting - they should have left well alone - the above problem existed then - they passed it after a discussion).
Any diagnostic geniuses with ideas on where best to investigate? (I'm poised with the multimeter . . . ).
Thanks
