Don't do this.: Circuit Tester

This gave wrong lighting, showed left turns instead of right turns and vice versa. Find the "SeaSense EZ TROUBLESHOOTER Circuit Tester" which works much better.

Pros
  • Delivery was very fast
Cons
  • Updates

Safety first. Good product.

There's nothing worse than completing a project and then forgetting to take a small step. This tester definitely helped with that. After installing my trailer wiring, I had no idea if I installed everything correctly. With this tester I was able to test all functions before connecting the trailer.

Pros
  • Ease of Use
Cons
  • Some Flaws

Super useful electrician

Works great but it would be nice if each LED was labeled so you know which light should be which. For example, turn on the left turn signal and the light flashes - but is it the right one? never mind I hooked it up to the car, knowing it was right, and then I tagged the headlights myself. Very handy for my new machine, which I continued to connect.

Pros
  • Confident
Cons
  • Almost OK

No explanation of the meaning of the indicator lights.

Being new to trailer wiring I am deeply confused as to why the gauges are not explained. Which light stands for which function? Other testers are clearly marked. I had no idea if my wiring could be changed or not. My trailer is rented out 100 miles from here and I need absolute assurance that my setup is correct.

Pros
  • Very impressive
Cons
  • The list will be long.

Works as advertised

Like every other option I've seen. LEDs only on one side. If I just plug it into an outlet, the LEDs are pointed to ground. This product requires a 5 year old to bend to their feet to see when the light comes on. Or maybe an extension cord or a piece of mirror to put on the floor. The price is right so I keep it to myself and use it. with one of the three modifications listed above.

Pros
  • Slim design
Cons
  • Fine
