Trailer lights
I feel like a light-weight with this question, but no answers have been found so far.
2011 ML550 with factory towing package. I rented a u-haul to take some stuff from CA to AZ - about 400 miles. The trailer lights flashed all the way. No real turn signal, probably no brake lights. I was using a standard 7 blade adapter to a flat four-pin.
The manual says use the MB adpater -- I used a recent one purchased for a 2009 GMC Acadia which I ditched. Is there something special about the MB adapter. Loads different or something?
Anyone have a similar experience or solution? I haven't been able to find the MB adapter.
