  • B.On the roof of the trailer at the front
  • C.Inside the trailer cargo compartment
  • D.On the landing gear crank handle
Correct answer

A. On the left side of the trailer near the rear (the roadside-rear corner area)

Why

Trailers built with ABS carry an external yellow lamp, traditionally at the left rear, so it can be seen in the mirror and during walk-around checks. Watching it cycle at power-up is part of checking a trailer you have just coupled.
