How to Use the 7 Pin Trailer Socket Tester:
Testing Trailer Plug (Trailer or Caravan side):
-
Insert the trailer's 7-pin plug into the tester socket.
-
Press the yellow test button on the tester.
-
If wiring is correct, all LEDs will illuminate. Each LED corresponds to a specific function (ISO 1724 standard):
-
Left Indicator: Yellow LED
-
Fog Light or 12V Supply: Blue LED
-
Earth Connection: White LED
-
Right Indicator: Green LED
-
Right Tail/Rear Light: Brown LED
-
Brake Lights: Red LED
-
Left Tail/Rear Light: Black LED
Important: If any LED doesn't illuminate, the associated wiring is defective. If no LEDs illuminate, verify your connections thoroughly.
Testing Vehicle Socket (Car, Camper, Truck side):
-
Plug the tester directly into the vehicle's 7-pin socket.
-
Press the yellow button on the tester.
-
If wiring is correct, all LEDs will illuminate.
-
Individually test each function:
-
Activate left indicator: Corresponding LED should flash at the same rate.
-
Repeat step above for right indicator, rear lights, fog lights, and brake lights.
-
This diagnostic approach ensures safe towing by confirming your trailer's lighting and wiring integrity before hitting the road.
Troubleshooting Guide
If the LEDs do not behave as expected during testing, refer to the following common issues and solutions:
Issue | Possible Cause (Trailer Side) | Possible Cause (Car Side) |
---|---|---|
Some LEDs do not light up | Wire damage, defective bulbs, or poor contact | Same as trailer side |
None of the LEDs light up | Mass (earth) wire damage or battery issue in the tester | Same as trailer side |
One or more LEDs are weak or flicker | Dirty or damaged plug contacts | Dirty or damaged socket contacts |
All LEDs are weak or flicker | Mass wire issue or low battery in tester | Same as trailer side |
Trailer lights don’t light up, but LEDs do | Trailer wiring short-circuited, blown fuses | — |
Note: If the vehicle uses a fog light interruption relay, test with a 21-watt bulb to ensure accurate results.
