Hello

We have a problem with the right hand side indicator light on the rear of our caravan.

All other lights working ok on the Landrover and caravan.  We have changed the bulb, all connections look ok.  Checked the fuses inside the caravan.

Any help/tips/advice welcomed before I have to book it in somewhere.

Most likely cause is a faulty connection at the plug ( on the caravan ) or socket on the car , can you check your car on another caravan .

Look at the 12n_diagram on this webpage , this diagram is as though you are looking directly at your car towing socket , using a bulb and some wire connect the bulb between pins 3 and 4 , whilest you have your car righthand indicator flashing , if your car socket is ok the bulb should flash .

Just to update:

Sorted the lights out.  Gave the electric plug and connector on the car a clean and spray with good old WD40 - all sorted!  Phew.

Always keep your plugs and sockets clean
Smearing with a little vaseline helps too
The plugs that is
