So I have a trailer with an aftermarket tow bar.

 

When the trailer is connected sometimes (mostly) the right indicator will not work, and inside the car it's going super fast.

 

Bulb is fine - sometimes works.

 

Wiring is ok I think, checked both plug and socket, and the wiring seems fine.

 

AFAIK the car is fine - I have previously used it with another trailer and it worked fine.

 

 

 

What should I look at?

To full circle this:

 

It turns out 3 or 4 years ago when i got the towbar installed they didn't install the ECU the quote said I needed and I paid for.

 

When I went back to the towbar people they tested, said it was fine, and said the only option was to rerun cables etc, which would be a charge. I asked them where they were and what to look for to check the connections, and when I pulled out the light - no ECU.

 

After a call they said my model it wasn't required but recommended, so they didn't install it. Since my quote and invoice had it included got them to install it - at no additional charge.

 

Good as gold now.

 

Pretty frustrated - spent a good few hours on this.
