Abstract

A circuit interchange for interconnecting towing and towed components of an articulated land vehicle, including a socket having an array of male and female connector elements so positioned and interconnected that by proper orientation of a trailer plug in the socket the trailer lights can be properly coordinated with the towing vehicle lights regardless of the wiring systems to the plug and socket. The interchange may be modular or in jumper form, or may be in part permanently substituted for the socket of the towing vehicle.
