Thanks to your post a few weeks back on the tire inflation system and the warning light, I was able to look intelligent

Last night started my final week where I am responsible for everything and my trainer will only interject if a safety issue arises, like I am going to hit something, etc.

I noticed the light on the trailer and said I think we have a problem with a trailer tire. He asked what I meant, and seemed impressed I knew what the light meant.

Thanks for making me look good.

Did the light go out, or was there an actual problem that you caught through exceptional vigilance? I’ve picked up trailers before that had been sitting more than a few days, and the warning indicator light would be on until the air built up after a little while.

Thanks Grumpy. I only offered the information; you obviously did the rest and absorbed it as “knowledge” to be used for future reference.

Pack Rat is correct...they will go out if only an adjustment in pressure is required. However if the light remained lit it’s likely you could walk to the back of the trailer and hear air hissing from one of the tires.

Glad it benefitted you.

Yeah, we can hear it leaking but it is keeping it inflated so we’ll we can’t figure out which one it is.

I’ve never had that happen, yet.
