I fitted a standard 12v relay on each indicator circuit. I used the 12v feed from the car to feed both the switch and the power supply of the relay.
The relay can't respond quickly enough to transmit the canbus pulse to the trailer, but the load of the relay plus trailer led is sufficient to trigger trailer warning light on the dash.
I located both relays in the nsr locker in the boot. If you open the boot and listen carefully, you can hear the relays twitching with the canbus pulse.
This setup has worked fine for about 15,000 miles...

I had this on my horsebox when I changed across to LED’s .... the indicators flash but the dash illuminator didn’t...
I fitted resistors across both poles...I.e across the positive and negative of the supply to the light... did one on both sides left and right indicator circuit and problem cured....

Has anyone got an up to date satisfactory solution to this problem, my preference would be to buy a plug & play adaptor, can forum members suggest a solution ?
Surely a sensibly priced option should be available now

There are plug and play solutions available in the Caravan market but sadly none of them are cheap.

I am replacing all the filament bulb lights on my trailer with LEDs and have the rapid-flashing issue.
Googling around I found this: ATE Smart Load Relay, which is plug & play.
https://www.ate-uk.com/lights-electrical/l...cable.html
I haven't bought one yet, but it looks like the kind of thing that should work.
Anybody use one?

Why? Keep indicator lamps
And save yourself loads of money and hassle.
