Hi i have an omega 2.6 and i tow a caravan with it ,can any one tell me how to get the indicator warning light to flash when indicating while towing (the one on the dash that looks like a towball ) someone told me to change the flasher unit to a 4 pin one i tried bthis but it still doesnt work
grateful for any advice
-
They are correct. The flasher unit needs to be replaced by one which picks up the trailer lights.
I would like one myself ::)
Another option is to put an annoying and embarrasing bleeper in the boot :y
-
Another option is to look for a big white caravan in the mirror ::)

I put up with the rear-mounted bleeper.
After all, the amount of time that the 'van is hitched-up is comparatively small anyway.

Ditto to that, and bleeper is behind the boot panel so is not to loud :y

Have you put a bulb in the dash as you need to.

errr what's what wrong with your mirrors? what's the point in a led on the dash when there is a massive white burger van behind you?

If it doesn't beep/flash then you know you've got a bulb out on the back of the trailer, can't see the back of the trailer from the mirrors :) ;)

I believe the law states you have to have a device to indicate that the trailer lights are working. A dash flasher or a boot mounted buzzer will do the trick ;)

What's simpler than swapping a reay one for one & putting a lamp in the dash? :-/ A buzzer is the most annoying thing in the world! ;)

TBH from inside the car I can barely hear mine with the radio on at a sensible level and conversation with SWMBO ::) ::) ::)
That said, I must get around to sorting the light on the dash as I like everything to work :y :y :y

Myonly gripe with the four terminal flasher is that it's noisier than the origninal 3 terminal (I've found my original now MarksDTM & it does only have 3 ;)) Hella says it's meant to be. :-/

i dont think you can get mirrors that will let you look at the rear of your trailer
