The left and right direction indicators made both position lights of the probe flash. All wrong. Everything works fine if you use a different brand adapter.

This not only converts a 7 pin receiver to a 4 pin flat connector like other adapters, it also offers 2 (a 4 pin and a 5 pin). This eliminates the need for a splitter when you need two outlets.

Then you'll quickly find that it doesn't matter if it has two covers or not because someone in the Walmart parking lot will see it and won't care too much about the second cover. Keep it in your car in the console and…
