Abstract: In response to detecting activation of a safety indicator on the towing vehicle, a radio frequency control signal is transmitted from a transmitter means on the towing vehicle. Thereafter, the radio frequency control signal is received on a towed vehicle using receiver means powered by a power source located on the towed vehicle. In response to receiving the radio frequency control signal, a safety indicator on the towed vehicle is automatically connected to the power source on the towed vehicle to activate the safety indicator on the towed vehicle. The radio frequency control signal may be encoded in response to the detection of a particular one of a plurality of safety indicators on the towing vehicle. Upon receiving the encoded radio frequency control signal, a corresponding one of a plurality of safety indicators on the towed vehicle may then be automatically connected to the power source on the towed vehicle.
