Hello, I recently upgraded to 2021 GMC Sierra 2500. It's got some fancy software that watches the tail lights on both the truck and a towed trailer.
Last year I upgraded all the lights on my older travel trailer to LEDs. This season, when I plugged it into my new truck the dash started flashing warnings... warnings= turn signal light burned out, brake light out. My infotainment center flashed errors too then went blank (first time I've seen that) then everything was back to normal. Strange I thought. I only needed to tow it 4 miles so I took off. During the trip, the warnings returned then stopped again. Infotainment screen went on/off.
When I arrived at the destination all the lights on the trailer were blinking... all of them!
I left the trailer and returned home to do some research. Seems my new truck needed "Trailer Adapter for Towing Trailers with LED Lights"

My 2018 Silverado saw nothing wrong with LEDs. I'm sure this new problem is only because I upgraded this older trailer to LED and my new truck freaked out. I have no doubt when my new Jayco 321RSTS arrives (still on order) I won't need this adapter again. Until then though, it's a requirement for my new truck with this 2013 Rockwood trailer with upgraded lights.
