Expert Reply:

The test lights on the 7 to 4-Way Adapter # 47345 will illuminate when there is a signal showing that the circuits are working (on the vehicle side). The bottom one will light up when the running lights are working. The center light will illuminate when the left turn signal and brake lights are working. And the top light will illuminate when the right turn and brake lights are working.
