Abstract

A trailer lamp function test device comprises a socket (10, 11) adapted to receive the pins of a plug of a trailer vehicle. The test device further comprises an electric energiser (17) and a rotary selector switch (15) which can be positioned selectively to test all trailer circuits of the trailer vehicle and their respective signal lamps by energising of respective test lamps (13, 14: 20, 21, 23, 24, 25) for circuit continuity.
At the same time, the part of the plug-and-socket connection on a tractor vehicle may be tested to ensure that energy is transmitted when the respective switches ate closed by a driver.
