Trailer Light flashing
I've noticed that when we indicate (left or right) the trailer light flashes at the same time as with the left or right indicator light on the dash.

Looking at the invoice for the last service I think the previous owner reported the problem to the dealer who couldn't find a fault.

Any suggestions as to what it might be as it should only flash when hooked up to a trailer. 2015 Audi Q3 Quattro S Line Plus 184 TDI Stronic

If it is once then it is normal. Don't make old people mad.
We don't like being old in the first place,
so it doesn't take much to Censored us off.

It's normal then if just once, mine doesn't have it at all unless timing because I have the RDX relay.

Next question is does the vehicle have standard filament bulbs or LED's in the indicators? Steve.

That'll be why then. Do you have an adjustable RDX relay fitted?

Do a search if you need more details.... Thumbs Up

Yes, I purchased it as a whole kit from BoltonBits, but the full kit doesn't come with the side repeaters so I just left the originals in. I replaced the standard relay with the RDX one and turned the knob until the trailer warning light just went out.

I would say the flash rate is slightly faster than the standard. I have also tried it with both LED and Incandescent Light Boards on the trailer and no problem experienced, not even having to adjust the relay either.

The only problem I keep getting almost on a daily basis is because I went for an All Clear set, every time someone sees me reverse they come up and tell me I've only got one reversing light working. It's becoming a real PITA!!!

I asked the same question when I first go my td5, I believe it's a bulb check.
