Broken tail or marker lights may not be noticed unless you are regularly inspecting your vehicle (which you should always do) and this can cause a surprise during a DOT inspection
On-Site Fleet Services knows that it may be difficult to keep up with every element of your semi-truck or heavy-duty vehicle, particularly when it comes to the maintenance of broken lights. The fact is, broken lights will happen since there are always pebbles flying on the road, contact with other objects during loading and off-loading, and then there’s the fact marker and brake lights go bad over time.
We can repair most brake lights, marker lights, pigtail cord, or ensemble to ensure your semi-truck or heavy-duty vehicle remains compliant with DOT guidelines. Another threat to your electrical system on a tractor-trailer is corrosion. Weather plays a major role in causing corrosion on pigtails and other electrical components, which can deteriorate quickly and cause malfunctions that show up at the worst moment (as in, when you have a DOT inspection).
Newer tractor-trailers are equipped with modern LED lights that are better suited to handle the rigors of the road and any weather conditions. However, older trucks may require a bit more attention for not only broken lights but also faulty or corroded connections and wiring. Inspecting and troubleshooting on a regular basis can help you identify any issues before they become a major repair or the cause of a DOT citation.
Preventive maintenance on your lights, markers, and electrical system can go a long way, addressing a variety of issues to include:
- Broken tail lights
- Faulty marker lights
- Worn-out plugs
- Defective pigtails
- Corroded wiring
