Hi all,

Where is the indicator relay located on a 2001MY TD5 defender?

Im struggling to see where it's stated in my workshop manual, or the owners manual.

Cheers
Andy

Hi all,

I replaced my last incandescent indicator bulb on the landy today.

It had 3 LED lights on the indicators (excels the wing lights), the indicators have always seemed to work ok.

I changed the last indicator and all is well.

However I note that the trailer light should flash once, mine never has flashed the trailer light.........

I found the indicator relay - sometimes I'm pretty dumb! I put the hazards on then traced the relay ticking until i felt the correct relay.

For clarity it appears to be a red relay on the furtherest left hand side of the passenger relay / fuse holder compartment.

It looks like a standard relay, and from what i can tell it should be either a special adjustable relay for LED's or you need to have fitted resistors into each end your LED light.

No resistors were fitted to my LED's, so i didn't fit to the new bulbs either.

Whats the scoop with trailer light, should it be flashing?

Any reason why it wouldn't?

How can i trick it to flash the trailer light, short of hitching a trailer, and if it doesn't why wouldn't it?

Thanks in advance.
Andy

You want an RDX relay, with these no trailer light at all except for when towing as you would expect.
Standard replay trailer light should flash just once unless towing.
The RDX one isn't cheap but it is worth it.
