Abstract
A current control module is used in a vehicle having a marker or tail lamp, a stop lamp, a left turn signal and a right turn signal. The current control module includes a circuit board and at least one wire coupled to the circuit board, the at least one wire corresponding to one of the marker or tail lamp, stop lamp, left turn signal or right turn signal. The current monitoring circuit includes a current sense resistor, a current sense amplifier, a voltage comparator, and a transistor coupled to the voltage comparator for turning off and preventing current from being delivered to the at least one wire corresponding to one of the marker or tail lamp, stop lamp, left turn signal or right turn signal.
