  • trailer plug indicators not working

    Gday all,

    finally got my new Prado the other day and loving it. My only problem is im having trouble getting the trailer indicators to work. I have tested the trailer on other vehicles and am sure the problem is on the car side. i am not getting power at the socket from the indicator terminals but i am for brake and tail lights. I have checked the wiring and all seems ok. Is there a fuse for the trailer plug indicators alone??..... cant seem to locate?

    My vehicle is a 2007 GXL 1KD-FTV 6 spd manual

    You will need to check if the relay's are ok. Have a rummage in the lhs where the jack is kept for the wiring loom. When the indicators are on you should hear the relay clicking. Im currently away so unfortunately cant get to car but lm pretty sure that would be a good area to start.
    Regards Adam

      In my car there is an unmarked fuse in the main fuse box in the engine compartment that controls the trailer indicators. If your car indicators work, the trailer ones do (when hooked up to a different car), then it's sure likely to be this fuse, especially if it's a toyota towbar + wiring job.

      I found this out because I had this problem so took it to an auto electrician. Took him 1 hour, and cost me $100 bucks. Don't make the same mistake

        Hi Adz,
        May be as simple as car is wired 5 pin and trailer 7 pin or vise versa.
        Indicators for a 7 pin are on 1 and 4, but for a 5 are moved to 2 and 5.
        Find a mates car the trailer works on, open his plug and see if its wired the same as yours.

          Hey there Adz87, need to put your location in your profile. Makes it easier if some one can help you out, you may be around the corner from me and I dont mind helping out where I can like everyone else on here. I definately have a clicking sound when the blinker is on that comes from the left hand rear 1/4 inside the car in the rear. (Id say where jack is, never looked but can hear it) Myn is genuine toyota bar and wiring loom.............Cheers Steve

            It was exactly this!, an unmarked fuse in the engine bay.....missing completely and no markings on map. i found another thread on this site after i had asked the question. now all working fine. I had checked everything..... was starting to go mad trying to locate. lucky for this forum
