Troubleshooting Trailer Lights Covered in December Issue of Phillips Qwik Tech Tips
Santa Fe Springs, CA (January 7, 2013) The December issue of Qwik Tech Tips, a monthly newsletter published by Phillips Industries, outlines in clear language how best to troubleshoot trailer lights when they are not working properly. Under the new Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration Comprehensive Safety Analysis (CSA) measurement system, a vehicle found operating with inoperative lamps negatively affects the carrier’s safety performance data and is also one of the most common causes for a driver to be pulled over. The Qwik Tech Tips article gives a basic guideline for drivers to determine the cause and possible quick fix if trailer lighting fails saving a citation or roadside inspection negative score. A downloadable copy of this article can be accessed at www.phillipsqwiktechtips.com where you can also sign up for future issues of this helpful newsletter.
