have a look at the trailer socket under the the back , it could be damaged or water might be getting into the socket itself and causing a short .. |

Is the trailer light only on the face lift models?

I'm following this with interest, i tow a fair amount and have yet to see the trailer light on (TD6 MY06). I know i've had a trailer & horsebox with dodgy connections/bulb out and still nothing. Socket was replaced last year.

Hi, where is this trailer light? I've connected my caravan to mine and nothing on e dash tells me there is anything on the back. Everything works as it should - including the fog lights on the back of the car not coming on, but the caravan one coming on instead (as it should). But nothing on the dash shows anything about a trailer - not even when the indicators are flashing... |

i've just looked at the handbook and there is nothing suggesting that there is a trailer light....i can only assume its a warning light on the dash that lights up when towing...

Cheers S. I can't see any lig in the cluster on mine that looks like it would be a trailer light - you know how you can see them when the sun is shining in the right direction! |

the facelift has a different dash hence the added warning light.. ... - .- -.

When I spoke to my delaer about mine I was told it only lights up when it detects a problem (ie resistance due to corrosion) and the check control for the car covers the trailer lights as well (Provided it's wired with the correct box of tricks I assume!).
