I have a 2012 Outback and just installed a Curt 56040 T-Connector Wiring Kit. I have LED trailer lights on my trailer. I was testing it and everything seemed to be working, but I noticed that one LED on each light remained on even after I turned the ignition off. (Normal operation for the LED taillights is multiple LEDs are illuminated for the tail lights, brake lights and signals.)
So I disconnected the trailer checked the voltages on the connector (flat 4-way connector) and each of the wires has 12V present even when the ignition is off.
Is that normal? Obviously that means there will be some battery drain if I leave the trailer connected. I wonder if the adapter is causing battery drain when the trailer is not connected.
