Separate vs. Combined Lighting Systems

Combined vs Seperate Lighting System

This kit will display on your towed car as a combined lighting system - also known as a 2-wire system. A combined lighting system uses the same light bulb to signal both braking and turning (in other words, the car signals a turn by flashing the brake light, while a separate/3-wire system light up independently of each other. Add a wiring converter (118158 - sold separately) and 2 additional diodes to get a separate lighting system.


Do I Need a Brake Light Relay?

Because your vehicle has a combined lighting system - wherein the brake signals and the turn signals are carried on a single wire - a brake light relay (RM-88400 - sold separately) may be required if you use a supplemental braking system with your towing setup. A supplemental braking system depresses the brake pedal in your towed car every time you apply the brakes in your RV. So, if your towed car's brake lights illuminate when the brake pedal is pressed and the engine is off - as is the case when towing - then you need to install a relay to ensure that the lights on your towed car always act in accordance with the signals sent by your RV via the wiring harness. Without a relay, the brake signal from your towed car will override the turn signal sent by your RV when you slow down to make turns, creating a potential hazard.

etrailer was extremely helpful in getting me parts to flat tow our 2023 Jeep Wagoneer. More specifically, Noah took the time to research the required parts, offer technical guidance, and follow up to ensure I was taken care of. Top notch service which was much appreciated.

2023 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited

Needed new wiring and diodes for my 2023 Jeep Rubicon. ETrailer makes it so easy to set up all the wiring for flat towing.



by:
Jeep Wrangler

This kit was fairly easy to install on a 2021 Jeep Wrangler. If you use this kit to set up a Roadmaster Nighthawk tow bar you do not need the 7-wire to 6-wire coil connector as the tow bar comes with it. Get a 4 diode wire kit without the coil connector and save money.

Works great, to charge battery of toad you need to change the 12v power from center to match the towed vehicle or wire up towed car to center post 12v

  • Best Flt Tow Wiring Kit for a 2023 Ford F-150 Hybrid with LED Lights
    Since your 2023 Ford F-150 has the LED lights I highly recommend the Roadmaster Smart Diode 7-Wire to 6-Wire Wiring Kit # RM38FR which has better diodes to make it compatible with the LED lights. The Demco Kit # DM9523010-54 has some really basic diodes which is why I recommend the Roadmaster over this. Demco doesn't list out fitment with LED lights but Roadmaster has a few diode kits and they say this newer one needs to be used for your truck. You'll also need the Charge Line Kit # RM-156-25...

    Your Demco Aluminator tow bar is compatible with the Roadmaster EZ Base Plate Kit # 521181-1 that fits your 2008 Toyota Yaris, you will simply need an adapter, the Roadmaster Tow Bar Adapter # RM-032. As for the other parts needed to flat tow your 2008 Toyota Yaris with a Demco Aluminator tow bar, here is a list of everything you will need, and I'll include the base plates and adapter. - Base Plate Kit: Roadmaster EZ Base Plate Kit # 521181-1 - Roadmaster Tow Bar Adapter # RM-032 - Safety...

  • Tow Bar and Flat Tow Parts Needed for Heavy 2020 Ram 3500
    We can definitely get you a flat tow set up for your 2020 Ram 3500. These trucks are heavy, but the GVWR you are referring to is the gross weight, which is the max weight it can be when loaded with passengers and cargo. According to my research, a 2020 Ram 3500 has a curb weight (unloaded) of up to just over 7,500 lbs max. So even if you have some cargo in the truck, it is difficult to imagine you will be exceeding the 10,500 lb tow bar option you can use with a 2 inch hitch on your motorhome,...

  • How To Prevent Battery Drain on 2008 Jeep Liberty While Flat-Towed
    In regards to flat-towing a 2008 Jeep Liberty, the battery must be disconnected to prevent drain per the owner's manual. In order to do this, I recommend using the Roadmaster Battery Disconnect part # RM-766 since it allows for this to be done with the flick of a switch, no tools needed and you can do it from inside the cab. Please note, there are specific steps you'll need to follow for setting up the vehicle to be flat-towed, you can find these starting on page 378 of the owner's manual....

  • Correct Tow Bar Wiring For 2022 Jeep Gladiator With LED Lights & ParkSense
    So a couple things here, as by blind spot indicators I believe you are referring to the ParkSense feature on your 2022 Jeep Gladiator. If so, you would not be able to use the Demco # DM9523010-54. The issue is that the brake and running lights will all be the same brightness with standard diodes. To avoid this, you'll need a Smart Diode kit from Roadmaster: - Roadmaster Smart Diode 7-Wire to 6-Wire Wiring Kit for Variable Voltage LED Tail Lights # RM63MR The diodes in this kit convert...

    I took a look at the online owner's manual for your 2010 Jeep Grand Cherokee, and under the "Recreational Towing" section your Quadra–Trac II model CAN be flat towed because it has a neutral transfer case, which is exactly what you described.

  • Comparing Base Plate Kits for a 2019 Ford Expedition
    The best base plate kit for a 2019 Ford Expedition is the Demco Tabless Base Plate Kit part # DM9519318 because it does not have any sort of cross tube that attaches the two side together unlike the Roadmaster Direct-Connect Base Plate Kit part # RM-524457-5 or Blue Ox Base Plate Kit part # BX2678. The lack of a cross tube is going to limit the amount of modifications that are needed which then reduces install time as well so this is really the best route to take. Furthermore, the Demco...

  • How To Install Tow Bar Wiring On Vehicle With Separate Brake Signal And Turn Signals
    When installing tow bar wiring on a vehicle with separate brake and turn signals that will be flat towed you would want to use a diode kit like the Demco 4-Diode Universal Towed Vehicle Wiring Kit w/ 7-Wire to 6-Wire Coiled Connector # DM9523010-54. When installed it will make your brake lights flash as the turn signals instead of your actual amber turn signals when being flat towed.

  • Recommended Tow Dolly For A 2010 Ford Ranger
    The online manual for a 2010 Ford Ranger doesn't list anything about dolly towing the vehicle but does state that manual transmissions can be placed in 2WD and flat towed, so you're more than likely fine to dolly tow your Ranger, but I recommend double-checking with your local Ford dealership to ensure there isn't anything else that would prevent you from doing so. If you haven't purchased your tow dolly yet then I recommend the Demco Kar Kaddy X Tow Dolly w/ Disc Brakes # DM9713093....
