Turn Signal Camera Mod??

[Swerve-n-protect]

Currently the outside mirror cameras only come on when the turn signal is on AND I'm towing my boat.... Has anyone found a way to keep them activated with the turn signals without towing anything???

Maybe put a dummy plug in the socket with small lights to mimic a trailer hooked up? . You could mod a re sever fill cap for the lights.

Ya, I tried to just plugging in an adapter with no trailer and that didn't do it.... it's go to have something hooked to it some how...

What if you just put it in tow mode

[Swerve-n-protect]

No sir.... didn't help...

Have you tried only tow/haul mode without a trailer?

I bet it needs to see the resistance of the lights

 

[Swerve-n-protect]

Yep... I bet you're right!!

Sounds like someone needs to create a plug with resistance so it will work. Sounds like a good money maker lol.

Well, another person in a different group says he got a Reese 20142 adapter that makes it work.... trying to find one that's not in back order to try....

Cool, let me know if it works.

Works on my 2020 Silverado with a curt 55384 adaptor

If you use the adapter, does it auto work or does it have to be in tow/haul mode?

i wired in some led lights for turn and brake to simulate a trailer being hooked up . It thinks you have a trailer and then turn signals activate camera no need to push tow/haul button
