What Happens to Trailer Taillights When the Turn Signal and Brakes are Used at the Same Time
Question:
With both operating the same LEDs and sharing the same connection what happens when both the brake and turn signal are activated at the same time?

Expert Reply:
When using your turn signal while braking, a trailer light like the Fusion LED Trailer Tail Light # STL201RB will continue to flash with the blinker while the brakes are applied. The blinker will override the brake, otherwise every time you used the brakes while turning you would lose the turn signal and no longer indicate to other drivers that you were turning.
