Question:
So, if everything is working, all six lights should be lighting up, correct? If one of them is not working, that particular light should be off, correct?

Expert Reply:
Yes, if you have correctly attached the wires to your Hopkins # HM48503 7-way trailer connector with test lights, then each of the LED indicators will light as the function is used. If the tester light does not light up, then the corresponding light or function on the trailer will not work either.
I have attached a video that demonstrates how the wires are connected inside the unit, and shows how the lights come one with each feature.
If you would prefer a stand-alone tester you might consider the # PK12741 Circuit Tester.
If you have more questions or concerns please email me back.
