Issue pulling a trailer.

[Bobzdar]

I have not had this happen with either of my trailers - one is 7 pin the other flat 4 pin. Blind spot monitors pick up cars as they normally do with both trailers.

So using the round trailer plug changes the sensor setup and also supposedly activates “tow mode”.

Do you have a ref for where you saw this?

Might try that but I would think it may be detecting the brake system rather than lighting. Otherwise these changes would occur using the flat plug.

I have surge brakes on my trailer, so I don't think this is how it's detecting you towing something.

I read it somewhere on this forum but can't confirm if it is true or not. Probably “fake” news......

Nice, adding lights to the bike rack, I had a similar idea for mine, which has a dummy red plug in the center beam, I plan to replace with a led tail/rake light.

When I tow my camper, every once in a while I'll have one or the other light up. Not even turning, just driving straight down the highway. It doesn't happen often, but it does happen
