Will 7-Way Trailer Connector Tester Work With 2011 Chevrolet 2500 HD Factory Brake Controller
Question:
I have a 2011 chevy 2500 HD and would like to know if this will work with the built in brake controller. In addition, are the leds bright enough for outside use? If this is not the best choice for my truck what would work better.

Expert Reply:
The 7 Way Trailer Connector Vehicle Tester you referenced, # C73NR, is not compatible with all factory brake controllers. I don't believe it is compatible with your 2011 Chevrolet 2500 HD.
A similar design that is compatible is the Pollak 7-Way to RV Socket LED Circuit Tester, # PK12741. This will work with your vehicle's factory controller and will be bright enough for outside use. You may need to shield direct sunlight from interfering with your reading.
