I really don't have any idea and that's official.

My WAG is, bad ground.
This might sound really nuts but have you upgraded to a bigger and better signal flasher? Might help.

If its feasible, hook the trailer up to another tow vehicle. Least it would narrow it down to the problem being with your truck or with the trailer. I hate electrical problems.

RJ I have done the opposite I have tried another trailer it doesn't do it so that is why I was thinking it was the trailer plug.
And yes I hate electric problems too:frustrate :frustrate :frustrate

I just can't figure out why it would make the speedo do crazy things I know the sensor is hooked in the anti lock brake sensor but then again why does the dinger sound. What should I look for on the trailer???

I would start by disconnecting one wire at a time from the trailer plug until the problem ceases. Reconnect all the wires except the last one. If the problem is still not present, at least now you know which wire is causing the problem.

Well actually I'd probably throw a wrench as far as I could and cuss like hell. Frightening my wife and dog.
