Using Tow Ready # 20142 Adapter to Fool Bulb Out Sensor in RV While Pulling Tow Dolly w/ LED Lamps
Question:
The RV is giving me a sensor warning light regarding my Tow Dolly Demco SS lights. The Tow Dolly has LED lights. Would this adapter solve this problem?

Helpful Expert Reply:
If the sensor lamp you're seeing displayed is indicating that you have a trailer taillight bulb out, the Tow Ready # 20142 will indeed work. Since LED's draw a tiny fraction of the power that incandescent bulbs do, a vehicle with a bulb out sensor will think that you have a burned out bulb. The # 20142 has a load resistor in it that fools the sensor into thinking that more power is being drawn through the circuit.
