electrical question, how to make clearance lights blink

Seeking instructions/guidance to what I need to do to make clearance lights blink? Trailer is plugged into 110 volt.

  • The clearance lights on a lot of modern trailers are LED, and don't draw enough current to make a typical flasher...flash.

    IMHO, it is a good idea to carry a flasher in someplace handy incase you need to unhook along side the highway.
    As for markers in a campground, go sleep in a truckstop.


    He probably wouldn't be connected to 110 in that case. Just a guess.

  • With the tab on the 7 way connector at the 12:00 position plug the flasher into the 2 top terminals.
  • I just got an old turn signal flasher and plugged it in to the 7-pin connector
  • Use auto blinker and plug it into 7 way on trailer.
    Cost about $4 cash.
