Hi Jack; the Curt 7-Way to RV Socket LED Circuit Tester # C73NR only checks the 7-way functions on the vehicle side. The best way to test your trailer wiring is to hook it up to a vehicle since it requires power. If you want a standalone tester we have the Hopkins Tow Doctor Trailer End Test Unit # HM50928 which uses a 12V battery to test the trailer lights.
