We had a towbar and electrics fitted to our vehicle last October. The Jeep does not require specific electrics. Over the last winter the offside indicator would function for awhile and the stop which is a pain if on a motorway making overtaking HGVs a task. Fitter replaced the socket and all okay for 1 - 2 months and then problem occurred again.
We requested fitter come out again, but then everything started working okay and no more issues over the summer and even when we took the caravan for its service in Oct. The caravan lights were supposed to have been checked.
On leaving no issue with checking the lights as everything worked okay. After about 50 miles on the motorway the buzzer for the indicator on the offside stopped functioning. On arrival back at the storage depot I noticed that the ATC light was also red.
Wiggling the connection got the indicators working and ATC light went green. However after a minute indicators stopped working on offside but ATC stayed green. Wiggling connection ATC turned red and indicators flashed momentary.
Admittedly the fitter can come out and change the socket on the vehicle, but he has already done this once. I am not sure if the issue is with the caravan or car as it is very intermittent. Perhaps we should ask the fitter to change the car and caravan 13 pin connections for the Jaeger plug and socket?
We had the Jaeger connection on a previous caravan due to issues and the thinking is that the Jaeger connections may resolve this issue permanently as don't like to call out the fitter every couple of months. The fitter has a very good reputation.
