What does the warning light mean?

I get a warning light on the facia of my VW Golf when I connect up to my Elddis caravan, suggesting that one of the caravan lights isn’t working. They all were, so what’s the problem?

The problem may lie with a car on 13 pin electrics and a caravan using 12n and 12S plugs. There might also be an incompatability problem because later cars and caravans use a slightly changed wiring system. Also, what does the car handbook say about warning light? It may be that the fog lights are disconnected.
