Mot test on towing electrics.

I now have a tester, 2 in fact. A multimeter and a 12v neon type tester.

Dont think so worth a thought though!

Or you could just plug in a trailer board and see if it works?

Now there is another idea to ponder over. Goodness, this forum is full of really helpful stuff. Thanks fellas.

And not to forget to test that the trailer tell tale indicator ( audio and/or visual ) in the car works too, and doesn't work with the relevant trailer bulb(s) removed.

The one that indicates that the trailer lights are actually drawing current, not just that the relevant voltage appears at the towing socket.

As it is a legal requirement that is likely to be part of the test.

IIRC I think it is only statutary for the trailer indicators, though on my 240 it checks the trailer brake lights too.
