How to Open The Lid On The Bright Way Push-to-Test Trailer Breakaway Kit

Question

Question:

I have the Brightway Push-to-test system, top load. Im having problems getting the door open. Ive removed the two screws, released the plastic securing tab and the lid will open about 1inch then stop. It seems like something inside is holding the lid from opening. Is there something els eI need to do to get access to the battery? Thank you

To load/unload the Replacement 12V 5 Ah Battery for Bright Way Trailer Breakaway Kits # 3801250 in your Bright Way Push-to-Test Trailer Breakaway Kit with 1-Amp Charger and 5 Ah Battery # 3802308 you will just need to un-snap the lid latch and lift.

Yes, it does Mike. There's enough of a gap between the mounting bracket and the back of the lid on the Bright Way Push-to-Test Trailer Breakaway Kit item #3802308, that the lid will open up all the way. What kind of trailer do you have?
