  • This trailer brake and light tester was inspired by @Scottthesigncrafter and the video he created for a similar build. After servicing my bearings, I realized testing the brakes would be difficult without some controller that was preferably wireless, and this build worked flawlessly for my needs. All parts are available from amazon.com, and the list follows:
    Nanuk 920 Case a.co/d/2ywvQKy
    4-Way Fuse Block a.co/d/9AVzSEn
    Ground Terminal Bar a.co/d/5YTcLpm
    LED Flasher a.co/d/gspg7QW
    Timer Relay a.co/d/iaCMGTU
    20 Amp Fuses a.co/d/eHZQMtD
    7-Way tester a.co/d/eHZQMtD
    24v to 12v Converter a.co/d/3CrQg1A
    12v wireless Relay a.co/d/9YMPY4F
    Makita 18v Adapter a.co/d/hv5YL2I
    7-Way Wire Adapter a.co/d/ea5PxK8

    Love this! I’m going to build one, have parts ordered. Is there a wiring diagram somewhere that you have posted or somewhere else? Thanks!

      I do not have a wiring diagram, however, if you need some photos of the layout with connections, I could send them to you.

    Great job! What did you use to make the turn signals flash?

      I installed the flashers for left and right switches with the flasher listed in the build comment section:

    Did you use the 20A relays because of the brakes, or do the other circuits need 20A? I am wanting to build something similar, but had been looking at 10A relay boards and adding a 20A for brakes.

      Maximum amperage draw for 4 Brakes that are 10 or 12 inch diameter is 15.0 to 16.3 amps at 12 to 13 volts. You should use the 20A for the brakes.

      Did your flasher come with a wire diagram? You may want to purchase this: a.co/d/gspg7QW
