2002 Z71 Trailer Light Delay

[rwaldrop]

I have a 2002 Chevy Silverado Z71. I recently puchased a new boat and trailer. When I attach the trailer lights everything comes on okay but there seems to be a 5-7 second delay from the time that I turn on my blinker to when the trailer lights actually start to blink. This is a consistent problem and though they do eventually work the delay makes me a bit nervous on the highway. Especially since I can only assume that the brake lights operate the same way. Any help in this area would be greatly appreciated.

Have you done any troubleshooting to try and figure out what your problem is? Did you test the plug w/o a connector attached to see if you're getting the same delay w/ a multi-meter or a test lamp? What type of plug does your trailer utilize? Have you made any modifications to your truck that might be the culprit? Give us some more info and we'll see what we can come up with but leave the attitude elsewhere.

Another question for you.....is this the factory installed trailer wiring or an aftermarket setup?

sounds like a bad connection or ground problem.

wow dude..........relax. he was offering help and your post did kind of come off or should I say it could have been interpreted as attitude. I didn't take it that way but I can see where he was coming from. That doesn't excuse you from telling him to f-off when he was trying to help.
