Recommended Adapter for a Trailer w/ LED lights that Turn Off When Turn Signals Are On
Updated 12/22/2025 | Published 09/30/2024
Question:
I have a 94 dodge ram that has standard lights not LED. I have a new 10 ft utility trailer with led lights. When I plug in the lights. All of the lights work like they should. The only problem I have is if my turn signal is on and I step on the brake. The turn signals stop working. Then when I let off the brake they work again. How do I fix this problem? Todd Miller

Hey Todd! your trucks computer isn't reading the voltage right with the LED tail lights. You'll need to use the 7-Way Trailer Adapter for Towing Trailers with LED Lights item # C57003. This adapter has load resistors which simulate increased power draw so the vehicle thinks there are incandescent lights on the trailer.
