The trailer relays are what is used on a trailer behind American wiring that uses the brake light bulbs as indicators as well. They are simply diodes that only let electricity flow one way. Because the bulbs are used for both if you switch the indicator switch without diodes it also makes both the brakes work and flash. Are the diodes hooked for electricity to flow in the correct direction? They are like a one way valve.
