FAQs

What is the legal requirement for using a trailer board?

A trailer board is legally required if your vehicle's standard rear lights are obscured by the load being carried on the trailer. It ensures that essential lighting signals like brake lights, indicators, and tail lights are visible to other road users.

What vehicles is this trailer board compatible with?

This board is suitable for a wide range of vehicles including trailers, horse boxes, tractors, boat and jet ski trailers, caravans, and bike racks, provided they have a 12V electrical system and a 13-pin trailer socket.

How long is the cable on this trailer board?

The cable length provided is 10 meters (approximately 33 feet).

Does the trailer board come with mounting hardware?

The product description does not specify included mounting hardware. Typically, users may need to source bolts, nuts, and washers suitable for their specific trailer for secure attachment.

Can I use this trailer board with a 7-pin socket on my vehicle?

No, this trailer board is equipped with a 13-pin plug and is designed for vehicles with a 13-pin trailer socket. An adapter may be required if your vehicle only has a 7-pin socket, but compatibility should be verified.

How do I check if my trailer's wiring is compatible?

Ensure your trailer socket on the towing vehicle is functional and wired according to the standard 13-pin configuration. If you are unsure, consult your vehicle's owner manual or a qualified auto electrician.

What are the dimensions of the trailer board?

The board is 6FT (183CM) in length and 5.5 inches (14CM) in height. The mounting holes are 138.5CM center to center.

Troubleshooting

No lights function when connected

Check that the 13-pin plug is fully inserted into the vehicle's socket. Verify that the vehicle's trailer socket has power (test with another trailer accessory or consult your vehicle's manual). Ensure the towing vehicle's trailer fuse is intact.

Only some lights are working (e.g., tail lights but no indicators)

This often indicates a wiring issue within the vehicle's trailer socket or the trailer board's internal wiring. Consult your vehicle's manual for the pin-out diagram of the 13-pin socket and verify each function. Check for loose connections at the plug or any damage to the cable.

Lights are dim or flickering

This could be due to a poor electrical connection. Ensure the plug and socket are clean and making good contact. Check the voltage at the trailer socket. If the issue persists, the LED unit itself may be faulty.

Reflectors are dirty or damaged

Clean reflectors gently with a damp cloth. If reflectors are scratched or significantly damaged, they may need to be replaced for road legality. Replacement reflectors may need to be sourced separately.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

  2. Connect the 13-pin plug to the corresponding socket on your towing vehicle.
  3. Test all lighting functions (tail lights, brake lights, indicators, fog light) by having an assistant check them while you operate the vehicle's controls.

Compatibility:

  • This board operates on a 12V system.
  • Requires a towing vehicle with a functional 13-pin trailer socket.
  • Ensure your vehicle's trailer wiring system is compatible with standard trailer lighting.

Care:

  • Clean the lenses and reflectors with a damp, soft cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners.
