Key Features & Benefits

These lights basically flash a signal when your trailer brakes are being applied. It’s a simple circuit—when you hit the brake pedal in your truck, it sends a pulse of electricity to this light, letting you visually confirm the trailer brakes are engaging. Some will flash rapidly, some are a steady light, it depends on the system. They're pretty straightforward electrically. Think of it as a quick visual check on your trailer’s braking system. It’s tied directly into the electrical system that activates the trailer brakes. It doesn't make the trailer brakes work, it just confirms they’re getting the signal to start working. It's part of the trailer brake control system, working alongside things like the brake controller itself and the wiring harness.

Symptoms, Risks & Replacements

You’ll notice if it stops working pretty quickly, because you won't have that visual confirmation. It's a safety thing, plain and simple. It helps you know everything is connected correctly and that the electrical signal is reaching the trailer brakes. It's especially important after you’ve done any work on the trailer wiring or brake system. If you're unsure about anything, it’s always a good idea to check this light. You can find these pretty easily, even on sites like Fixparts Online, and they're usually a simple plug – and – play installation. It’s one of those little parts that can save a lot of headaches – and potentially prevent a serious situation.
