    I was going to take me cdl drive test soon. My trailer abs light intermittent comes on and off depending on the day and its mood. As long as I mention checking it is that good enough or does it need to be functioning properly to let me pass? This is on the trailer only the truck works fine. Thanks!

    Might want to fix that.
    Easy ticket.
    If you are going to lease on with a company most will inspect your equipment .
    Thats a fail on inspection.

    If its on and off. First simple solution would be to check for corrosion on all connecters. Generally, if its a failure with the ABS modules on the trailer. It will stay on all the time. with what you are describing, sounds like a wiring issue.

    If you can get it repaired, it would be the best... but honestly, the CDL test isn't a real inspection.. They are testing whether or not you can conduct an inspection.. as long as all your lights and signals work... you should be OK

    Could be an early warning sign of a loose wheel end. Might want to play dumb if it comes on during your pre trip portion of the road test. Maybe mention it needs attention for that very reason. Once you get the License you can run it till the whole hub/drum/wheels/tires fall off. Seriously, it’s a real concern. Get it fixed, just in case.
