Flash master

Hi all.
Does anyone know anything about a black box attached to my right rear lights wiring call a flash master.
I'm wondering if it's something to do with my tow hitch, and the reason why the caravan rear right indicator doesn't work.
Thanks jim

Sound about right Jim. I should imagine it's the junction box for the 7 pin socket on your towbar, OR could be a bleeper which sounds when you indicate with the caravan electrics are connected

Assuming it is to do with the towing hitch try having a look at THIS site and see if that helps.

Hi all.
Thanks for the help. I'm still a little confused with it all, but i think i'm getting closer to the electrical problem.
Ive tried testing the Flashmaster black box and there seems to be plenty of live and earth, but in the tow bar plug seems plenty of live and earth except om the pin for the right indicator. So i think there is a short between those two points. A broken wire or a burnt end. I'm not an electrician so it's taking some time for me to figure.
Thanks for all the advice 
Speak soon

LOL Dave.
I want a couple of pints of what your on
Thank you all for your help. With the aid of the light from my moblie phone and after cutting the tow hitch bolts of and stripping the wires and starting again, i have found that the Flashmaster ( Black box thing Dave) lol was wired up wrong.
Changed it all the wires around, cust alot and hey presto the tail lights started working.
Again thanks all.
Ps Dave hope your heads not to bad
