ELECTRICAL CONNECTION VALIDATION SYSTEM FOR A TRACTOR/TRAILER COMBINATION The invention relates to an electrical connection validation system for a tractor/trailer combination, and in particular to an electrical connection validation system for a roadgoing tractor/trailer combination. The system comprises mechanical and/or electrical componentry to ensure a correct and working electrical 10 connection is made between the tractor and trailer. The system has a trailer connector comprising a number of electrical contacts, with a sensing wire connected to each of the electrical contacts and a controller connected to each of the sensing wires. The controller is connected to an alert means and is configured to issue an alert signal, for example a visible alert signal, when the improper 15 connection of any of the electrical contacts is detected. The controller can also be configured to issue a positive signal if all of the electrical contacts are properly connected, which positive signal can be visible remotely of the tractor/trailer combination. 20 (Fig.1) 14 20 24 30 22 Fig.1 _F-17 PIN 1 PIN 2 PfN 7 PIN5 PIN 5PN4 Fig.2 42 24v VERSION
