Abstract:
1. A device for testing the functionality of a trailer lighting system comprising: a compact portable housing having a removable top side and a handle; a connection port operable to receive the trailer lighting system Wiring harness of recreational vehicles; a self-contained rechargeable 12 volt power source of sufficient capacity to power all functionality over a sustained period of time; an on/off switch means for connecting or disconnecting the power source; a power source recharge inlet which enables the recharging of the power source; a manually actuated light mode selector button to select from four individual light modes, defined as left turn signal, right turn signal, brake lights, and tail lights, and a cycle mode defined by an automated rotation through at least two of the individual light modes individually at a predetermined time interval; a light mode control means comprising at least one of a microcontroller and a programmable logic circuit which is programmed to actuate multiple light modes, including individual light modes and the cycle light mode based upon the mode specified by the user through the light mode selector, wherein said light mode control means actuates the brake lights mode by simultaneously actuating the left turn signal and the right turn signal modes; a main fault indicator light; location fault indicator lights for the left side, the right side and the tail lights; and a fault detection logic means comprising at least one of a microcontroller and a programmable logic circuit which is programmed to activate the main fault indicator light and location fault indicator lights for the left side, the right side and the tail lights.
