Where exactly is the beeper wired to, i.e. is it a full sounder with relay etc., across the indicator feeds?

There's something odd there, I can't put my finger on it. How does it wire across the two indicators without relay or interface if only two wires? A sinlge buzzer would at least need input from each indicator via a diode, plus the earth connection. A full trailer sounder should have an input from each indicator, outputs to the socket + earth.

Sounds like the same as mine. I can't remember which colour was which, but one went to the flasher unit, one went to the supply to the flasher unit (cut the wire and run through the beeper) the other one went to earth. Think the earth was black, but not sure about which way around the yellow and white were. I recon you have the same as me and have wired it up completely wrong and in the wrong place. Does it look like this?

I have a more conventional one with five wires in my toolbox if you are in the South Wales area. Not really worth posting as you can pick them up from a towbar fitter locally for a few pounds.

Pleased to hear you got it sorted, I'd forgotten about these 3 wire units. Do these need adjustment to recognise the extra current drawn when a trailers connected? I've only used the five wire versions which work no problem, but I may fit a secondary buzzer in the front as I've purposelly 'muffled' the one in the rear (or perhaps a lamp indicator)

I find mine temperamental as when it is hot and sunny it sometimes beeps once when I first indicate, even when the caravan is not connected/ When it is cold, sometimes it only beeps once when the caravan is connected. I bought it for two reasons, firstly, the ones in the boot can hardly be heard and secondly, it has a separate buzzer which can be cut off and have a light fitted in it's place.

Out of interest, did you fit yours between the flashe unit and the switch or between the flasher unit and the supply? When I fitted mine between the flasher unit and the switch as the instructions tell you the indicators stopped working and the flasher unit buzzed continuously.

There is a small screwdriver slot to adjust the sensitivity if I recall correctly.
