There is more that goes into purchasing a trailer than just buying it and hooking it up. If this is a first-time purchase, there are generally questions buyers may have about the Trailer Service Shingle Springs. Here are answers to some of the most commonly asked questions.
Q: Is it possible to test the battery and breakaway switch on an electric brake trailer?
A: Absolutely. To perform this easy test, simply disconnect the harness of the trailer nose. Remove the breakaway switch pin and try to move the trailer. If the brakes prevent movement because they are locked, the battery and the switch are both functioning properly.
Q: The VIN plate has been lost. How can the trailer owner get a replacement plate?
A: To apply for a replacement copy of the trailer VIN plate, just go to the website of the state DMV or visit one of their physical locations. They will give the owner instructions on how to submit the necessary paperwork.
Q: How can the buyer check to verify the trailer will be compatible with the wiring of the truck?
A: Any company that specializes in Trailer Service in Shingle Springs will have access to wiring schematics that correlate with the trailer being investigated. Just ask a member of the staff, and they will be more than happy to provide assistance.
Q: The trailer purchased has strobe lights in the tailboard. Is it possible to locate the power source to perform maintenance by oneself?
A: While the power source is actually the black wire in the harness, working on it by yourself is not recommended. Not only can it be dangerous, but it may void any warranty that would normally be applicable.
Q: How can a maintenance manual be obtained for the trailer if the original has been lost or destroyed?
A: If the model is newer, a trailer repair and sales store such as Vintage Transport will have access to copies. If the trailer is an older model, check with the manufacturer to see if they have copies available.
