Abstract

Apparatus (100) for providing emergency actuation of lights on a trailer is disclosed. The apparatus comprises an electrical cord (80) for electrically connecting a power source such as a battery (400) with an electrical connector (202) of a trailer lighting harness, operable to receive power from the power source to activate an emergency flasher (500), and a connection to the trailer lighting harness to connect the battery (400) thereto. The cord may be attached to a battery on the tractor which pulled the trailer or a backup battery.
