This is the RDX relay that works Thumbs Up

Open the fuse panel under the steering wheel and look at the top left hand relay. If one of these is already fitted then turn on the hazard lights and turn the adjuster until the trailer light just stops flashing - I thing it is anti clockwise ? Once the trailer light is not flashing turn off the hazards and try the indicators, the trailer light should now not flash at all.

It is indeed a bulb check, the RDX relay is the only cure.

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

Hi guys, new to the forum so please be kind! Very Happy

Just installing my RDX relay now, excuse my blonde moment but when you say "turn the knob until the trailer light stops flashing" - do you mean until the trailer light stays on or stays off?

Thanks in advance!

With no trailer connected the trailer light should flash once when the indicators are switched on then not flash again Thumbs Up Ray

Make sure you adjust it with engine running at full voltage, then it will be 100% accurate. Thumbs Up
