See full version: Problem with LED trailer lights
Replaced my trailer lights with some LEDs and have a few strange symptoms. The lights perform all the required functions just fine, but always have a faint residual flashing on the bulbs that are not actually performing. When I turn the truck off, the lights will flash, very faint, for about 2 minutes and then shut down completely. more
The LEDs draw very little power, so I'm not particularly concerned, but I am curious if anyone else has experienced the same. [links]
Actually, the small voltage pulses are sent through the electrical system to detect if any light bulbs are blown. It's a problem common with other brands as well, not just Land Rover. Regardless, the effect on LED trailer lights is the same, ranging from faint flickering to full blown blinking of trailer's parking lights, turn signals, etc. In addition to trailers, this issue can also affect other LEDs installed on the car, such as aftermarket ones in the rear light clusters. here

During the roof windup the cables can get caught and the plug can get dislodged.
If you replace just one bulb you’ll know if that’s the problem. here
So you might just need to check it here:
Yes, you can reset a blink camera using the reset button. The Blink Mini has a reset button on the bottom side of the camera, which may be necessary to use when you add it to a new or existing Blink system. You may also need to use the reset button in case when you move the Mini to a new location or Wi-Fi network.
If a steady red light is not related to the above conditions, reset the camera by pressing the reset button inside the back cover. [links]
The good this is that most issues with the Blink camera can quickly be resolved after doing a bit of troubleshooting. In this guide, we look at some of the common Blink camera problems and what you can do to fix them.
The auto manufacturer selects a flasher for the vehicle that best matches the “load” created by the bulbs in the turn signal system. In some cases, the load maybe very close to the minimum required to make the flasher cycle. In other vehicles, the minimum load requirement may be much lower than the load created by the vehicle’s bulbs. This is why some changes to LED bulbs, have no effect on the function of the system. As long as the total load is in line with the flasher relay’s requirements, the system will function without any issues. here
The reason that the turn signals suddenly stop working after LED or SMD bulbs are installed has to do with the load put on the signal flasher relay. In many vehicles, the signal flasher is a thermal flasher design. This type of signal flasher relay work by heating up with the current for the bulbs passes through the relay. When it reaches a certain temperature, it shuts off until it cools down. Once it is cooled, it turns on again until it reaches its shut off temp. The cycle of heating and cooling results in the lights going on and off at an interval, known as the blink rate. more
The Problem:
There are a couple of possible solutions to the problem. The first and easiest way to correct the issue is to change the signal flasher relay to an electronic type signal flasher relay. These electronic units replace the thermal design with a relay that detects a much lower load and begins and “electronic” cycle of open and closed circuit to create the blink rate. Electronic Signal Flasher Relays are a simple and effective upgrade because they are a plug in replacement for the factory flasher. Upgrading the signal flasher resolves the problems associated with LED conversion about 95% of the time. They are the recommended solution to the problem, but they are not the only solution.
For some vehicles this is a common problem after updating the tail lights and/or other signal lights to LED/SMD bulbs. We recommend a couple different ways to address this problem, but first it is important to understand why there is a problem.
