Annoying "Trailer" when reversing
Posted: Sun Apr 16, 2023 10:26 am
This is not a real concern other than its bloody annoying.
I have a 12 pin trailer connector and it is in turn connected internally to a "Ford" Redarc trailer controller.
Often, and historically this seems to follow rainy periods when I engage reverse instead of the normal guide lines on the screen the Wildtrak thinks I have the trailer connected !!!
I've checked the 12 pin plug and its as dry as a wombats bum, I've been under the Wildtrak and the main big harness loom connector is dry and and the harness is okay so I'm at a loss as to the reason why, and without me manually clicking it, in the the Driver Assist mode the "Trailer Connect" is often ticked !!!
If I go out of reverse and then re-engage it often the trailer will dissapear and the guide lines will return - only to dissapear again moments later and the ghost trailer comes back.
Are there any electrical boffins out there with solutions ??
