Can Load Resistor Install on Trailer Wiring of Vehicle Instead of Trailer
Question:
Load resistors like # P230004A-2 don't normally get installed on trailer wiring but if Mercedes told you that was what's needed I'd go with their recommendation as they'd be the authority on their vehicles. So instead of installing it on the trailer wiring circuits of the trailer you could install the resistor on the trailer wiring of the vehicle instead and it would have same effect.
