Recently I purchased and installed a Hidden Hitch. I was missing the towing harness which I purchased from RedTrailers.com and followed the instructions I found here to proceed with the installation last night.
Like most people, I used the 12v power outlet on the right side of the trunk to connect the power line and positioned the fuse holder so that I can access it through the taillight opening on the left. Tested the whole thing with the End cover with led lights tester and it worked perfectly. Left/Right turn signals, taillights, brakes, no problem, no sound, no smoke. So I put the trunk liner back in place and tested again. To my surprise, this time the module is buzzing when the lights were turned on or in sync with the turn signals. Pretty loud too, I could hear it from the driver's seat.
The only difference from the time I first tested it and the time when it started buzzing is that I re-plugged the power outlet before putting the trunk liner back. Since it was already dark out, I had no more time for debugging. So, before I take it all apart again tonight and start troubleshooting, does anyone have a clue as to where the problem could come from?
TIA
