- Prevents feedback that can damage your vehicle's electrical components with diodes

<
Notes:
"Don't be intimidated by diodes: if you can strip and crimp wire, this installation will be no problem."
Combined Lighting System vs Separate Lighting 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.)
A separate lighting system has the brake signal and the turn signal light up independently of each other. Typically the turn signal is amber.
To keep the separate lighting system on your car functioning properly while you're flat towing, add a wiring converter (118158 sold separately) and 2 additional diodes.
Do I Need a Brake Light Relay?
If your towed car's brake lights illuminate when you press the brake pedal with the engine off, you need to install a brake light relay (RM-88400 - sold separately) with this kit. Without a relay, your car's brake signal will override the turn signal sent by the RV when you are slowing down to make a turn, creating a potentially dangerous situation. Other drivers will see that you're slowing down, but not that you're making a turn. With a brake light relay, you can signal both and travel safely.

Simple to install kit that does exactly as listed. Very thorough instruction that were easy to follow.
by: Wes 02/10/2024
It does what it says on the tin. Easily lit up my XJ so I could tow it. Only regret is that by making the connections at the rear, you don’t get the front market lights on the toad. I should have connected the running lights diode in the harness under the dash so all the marker lights come on at night.
by: Larry02/10/2024
I’m always extremely satisfied with Roadmaster products. I had just bought a new truck and planned on towing it so I needed everything to get it ready to tow. This review also applies to to the other items I purchased.
by: Gregory H04/19/2024
First of all Justin B,was awesome so very helpful and knowledgeable went over everything with me and then double checked what was needed before I placed the order for my 2022 maverick to be flat towed, order only took 3days to get to Fl.Kudos to Justin B all the guys putting together the order
and etrailer awesome job,will definitely use them again for any of my needs.
by: Billy02/08/2024
I thought I order the 7 to 6 pin wiring harness for my vehicle as I have the 7/6 cord I used when I pulled my pickup. I also ordered the 6 pin mounting bracket with the 6 pin adapter that wires into the harness. I received the kit which is a flat 4 pin harness.

etrailer is a great company for towing products. They have fast delivery and they have nice installation videos. This order I added 2 more diodes to wire my 2015 Subaru Forester to have separate wiring for break, running, and turn signal lights.

I have order several things from etrailer. Their products are great. Due to nobody's fault but my own I ordered some wrong things. The return was so easy, no questions asked. I would recommend this company to anybody.

Fits and works just as it should.
by: Steve03/13/2022
Installation instructions were great, no issues or questions. I ran the wire thru the frame, and used split wire loom and tape to protect wiring when outside the tube frame.

Product is very well built and is hidden within the bumper/grille. Installation wasn't too difficult, reinstallation of front bumper requires 2 people.
Pleased with end results.

One year in and the wiring set up has worked as planned. no issues.
by: Dean 05/17/2023
The install was more challenging than the tow bar itself but we got it done. Be patient with the tail light diodes they are tricky to fit but not impossible. I ended up using some 3m double sided adhesive sticky’s to hold the diodes in place while i pushed the tail light assembly back into position.

- Flat Tow Parts for a 2022 Jeep Wrangler Rubicon w/ Aftermarket Bumper with WinchI may have another option for you. But the etrailer Invisible Base Plate Kit # e98948 will not work for your 2022 Jeep Wrangler Rubicon with aftermarket winch bumper.

I checked in our information available and it says the 1982 to 2011 Volkswagen (all models) FWD Automatics can not be flat towed.

If you have a factory bumper or a double tube bumper, you will need the Roadmaster # RM-521424-4. It should be noted that this does not fit models with front leaf springs,...
view full answer... - Flat Towing Equipment Recommendations For A 2006 Jeep Grand CherokeeThe first thing to do when you're wanting to flat tow a vehicle is to check the owner's manual to ensure that your vehicle is capable of being flat towed and following any steps it lists to be ready to flat tow. The equipment you need to flat tow is a tow bar, tow bar wiring, base plates, safety cables, and a braking system. I have the following recommendations for your 2006 Jeep Grand Cherokee below: Tow Bar: Roadmaster Falcon 2 Tow Bar - Motorhome Mount - 2" Hitch - 6,000lbs Item # RM-520....

- Recommended Flat Towing Equipment For A 2016 Ford EdgeTo know if your vehicle is capable of flat towing you'll have to read your owner's manual. There are very specific instructions to follow if it is flat towable to ensure the safety of your vehicle. From what I can find in the online owner's manual "You can tow your 2.7L EcoBoost or 3.5L (6F50 or 6F55) equipped vehicle with all four wheels on the ground" but none other are listed so I recommend reaching out to Ford. If it is capable you'll need a tow bar, tow bar wiring kit, base plate,...

You will still need to install a base plate kit like the Roadmaster Direct-Connect Base Plate Kit - Removable Arms # RM-521448-5, which are a confirmed fit for the 2015 Jeep JKU Unlimited.

view full answer... - Does the Roadmaster Universal Hy-Power Diode Wiring Kit Fit a 2023 Jeep WranglerYes, the Roadmaster Universal Hy-Power Diode Wiring Kit # RM-154 does work for your 2023 Jeep Wrangler as long as you do not have park sense. This will allow you to use your Jeep Wrangler's tail lights and wiring system while preventing feedback from your RV. If you do have park sense, you will want to use the Roadmaster Wiring Kit with Smart Diodes # RM47ZR.
view full answer... - Recommended Plug-In Flat-Tow Wiring Harness for a 2001 Jeep Grand CherokeeI have some great flat-tow wiring harness options for a 2001 Jeep Grand Cherokee. That said, the trailer wiring harnesses which is what you were looking at are different than the flat-tow wiring harness options which is what you need. If you want the signals sent through the taillight then I recommend using the Roadmaster Universal Hy-Power Diode Wiring Kit part # RM-154. There won't be any plug-in-play options though.

The Blue Ox Tow Bar Wiring Kit # BLU79FR you were looking at has square connectors that will not plug into the connectors you have on your 1997 Jeep TJ.

- Troubleshooting Brake Lights Overriding Turn Signals On 2021 Jeep Wrangler Being Flat-TowedThe Roadmaster Stop Light Switch Kit # RM-751490 is what is required for your 2021 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited, and not the # RM-88400 you mentioned. This is due to the stop light switch on your Jeep timing out of after so long. This kit is designed to stop the brake lights from overriding the turn signals, so since you are having these issues still that leads me to believe there is a wiring issue with either the switch or the tow bar wiring # RM-154.

If you do have the ParkSense on your Wrangler then you need the Roadmaster Wiring Kit with Smart Diodes # RM47ZR instead.

Make sure to follow the instructions outlined in the recreational towing section of the manual. The first part you will need is base plates. You can use Demco base plates # DM9518325 with the Energi Hybrid. For a compatible tow bar I recommend the Comamnder II, # DM9511012. It also includes safety cables. Next...

Since you have a 3.5 liter then as long as you have the 6-speed automatic you can flat tow your Edge using base plates # RM-524448-4 if you have Active Cruise Control. If you don't have Actice Cruise Control instead you want # RM-524454-4 instead. And for a compatible tow bar with either kit I recommend the Roadmaster...
view full answer... - Tow Bar Wiring Recommendation for a 2015 GMC CanyonYou can wire up the tow vehicle so that the taillights function like a combined system (2 wire), which requires a 4 diode kit. Or you can wire up your vehicle like a separate system where you would use a 6 diode kit. For a 4 diode kit you would want the # RM-154 or for a 6 diode kit you would want the # 154-792-118158. I attached an FAQ on wiring up the vehicle in either configuration for you to check out as well.

Diodes were not the ones I needed even though the etrailer site said they were. I had to purchase the correct ones from the auto electric shop where I had the wiring done.
