ABSTRACT:
A trailer lamp testing and lamp storage apparatus is provided for connecting to an electrical connector of a trailer, wherein the electrical connector of the trailer has a predetermined number of contacts for a predetermined number of lamp circuits in the trailer. The lamp testing and storage apparatus includes a housing assembly which includes a bottom housing portion, a hinge assembly connected to the bottom housing portion, and a lid assembly connected to the hinge assembly. A storage assembly, supported by the housing assembly, is provided for storing a number of replacement lamps for replacing burned out lamps in the trailer. The lamp testing and storage apparatus also includes a predetermined number of battery-powered testing circuits and a connector assembly for receiving respective ends of the predetermined number of testing circuits. A connector assembly supports and arranges the respective ends of the testing circuits such that they are placed in contact with corresponding electrical contacts in the electrical connector from the trailer. By this electrical contact, respective lamp circuits in the trailer are placed in series with corresponding testing circuits in the testing circuitry assembly, whereby respective lamps in the trailer are capable of being tested by the respective testing circuits in the testing circuit assembly. The storage assembly is supported by a floor portion of the bottom housing portion and includes a plurality of storage wells arrayed in rows and columns in a storage base.
