Testing Procedure
If testing with a test light, attach the ground
lead of the tester to the exposed ground
terminal of the 4-flat end. Activate the tow
vehicle left turn, right turn, tail and brake
lights one at a time. Probe the three
receptacles of the 4-flat end to confirm
proper functionality.
If testing with a trailer, mate the 4-flat with
the trailer and run the same test as the circuit
tester using the trailer lights. If a function
on the trailer lights does not work properly,
disconnect the trailer 4-flat, turn functions
on the vehicle off and recheck function
with a circuit tester. If functionality is good,
check the trailer for potential problems.
The short circuit, overload and thermal
protection of the taillight converter may
cause the trailer lamps to pulse on briefly
every two seconds. If this pulsing is seen
when testing with a trailer, this is an
indication that the lamp circuits exceed
the ratings of the product or there is a
wiring issue with the trailer.
