A trailer lighting control device enables flashing of trailer lights when the trailer is not electrically connected to a vehicle. The device uses an on-board battery which is electrically connected to the standard AUX terminal of the trailer-vehicle plug. The device has a housing which holds a socket mateable with the trailer-vehicle plug. The socket is connected to a flasher module which has a negative terminal, a positive terminal, and a load terminal. The flasher periodically electrically connects the positive terminal to the load terminal. A wiring circuit forms an electrical connection between a terminal of the socket mateable with the AUX terminal and the positive terminal of the flasher, and an electrical connection between the load terminal of the flasher and one or more terminals of the socket which are mateable with terminals of the trailer plug that are connected to lights of the trailer.
