hazard light fuse keeps blowing with caravan attached

I had a similar issue on my old 100 series.
In the end I replaced the flasher can and the problem was solved. I simply had too many lights for the old can.

G'day, maybe change some of your globes to LED's, longer lasting, vibration proof, and less amp draw.............

The 10 amp hazard light fuse can not carry the load of the extra lights on the van

If you have 8 lights flashing at 21 watts each (approx 168 watts in total) the approx amp draw at 12 volts is 14 amps

The easy solution is to change the fuse to a 15 amp one (lots of people do) but you run the risk of having something lighter in the circuit melt if there is a short circuit instead of the fuse blowing (who knows what the other componants in the circuit are rated at)

In my case i just make sure i dont put the hazards on with the van hooked up as it will blow the fuse every time

For the other person who posted that their hazards dont work at all but their indicators do check the hazard fuse in the fuse box (black lid with raised lettering from memory) under the bonnet in between the battery & the brake master cylinder to see if it is blown

thanks for all your help i think i wll replace some globes with LED'S

You may have the wiring hooked up wrong to the caravan. Most trailer plugs have a wire that powers reversing lights (black) The plug on the van however may be for the fridge. I had this problem and when connected the reversing lights on the car would come on and stay on, that's because the van battery was sending power back to the car. Check wiring first.
