G'day all, I have an 05 hilux the latest model, and have a problem with parker lights not working when I have a trailer on, all other lights work, as soon as I turn parking lights on the fuse blows.This happens with 2 other trailers we have,yet all lights work fine on other vehicles.

This is a known HiLux problem and the basis for a recall. I think they fit a higher voltage flasher unit as the stock one's not powerful enough to run trailer lights too.

last time i checked the park lights and the indicators were on a different circuit all together the recall is for the hazzard light not working with a trailer on and a bullbar draws to much current
