  • reverse lights come on when I connect the trailer

    Hi Guys

    Hoping this is an easy fix.

    I have recently installed a P3 controller and it all seems to be working fine.
    However when I connect the car to the caravan the reverse lights come on (and stay on) the car.

    I could be wrong here, but I've done a little research and I think its because the fridge might be connected to the same pin as what reverse lights normally are (i'm using the std Toyota loom)

    Is there a way I should be wiring this pinn so that I still get power to the fridge, but my lights operate normally?
    or should i disconnect this pinn/wire altogether (i wont need reverse for any of the other trailers and the caravan fridge can handle being without power for a while when we drive)

    Thanks in advance for your help

    Cheers

    Don't know if this helps you any but recently I towed a mates boat for him and my brake fail warning light came on.
    We went through and rewired his trailer as it was a bit beyond it and the light problem went away, so maybe a visit to the autolec is the way to go

      Nicho - Regardless of your problem, I would run a seperate 12V feed for your fridge and disconnect the wire in the trailer plug.

      Kybraboss - Having just bought a tinnie, I am learning the joys of boat trailers. Investigated why the lights weren't working and found rust rust and some more rust. Today's job is fit a set of fully sealed LED lights.

        yep thats what we did... new LED sealed lights, solder and heat shrink seals on everything and fed the wires through hose pipe at any point that might rub
