Roadmaster Tow Bar Braking Systems - RM-751489

  • Stop Light Switch
  • Roadmaster

Avoid damage to your vehicle by ensuring that your supplemental braking system is properly positioned and working effectively. Kit activates your RV monitoring system to alert you when the brakes of your towed car are being applied.


Features:

  • Activates motorhome brake-monitoring system whenever brake pedal in towed car is applied
    • Ensures that the supplemental braking system is functioning properly
  • Works great for any application that does not have a tow position in the ignition
  • Wires directly into towed car's fuse box for constant current
  • Made in the USA


Specs:

  • Application: custom fit for your vehicle
  • 12 Volts


This kit allows your RV's monitoring system to alert you whenever the brake pedal of your towed car is being applied. Other systems operate according to whether the air cylinder is extended and provide no indication of what is happening with the pedal itself. If your supplemental braking system is improperly installed, it may be continuously pressing on the pedal, impeding it from fully retracting and possibly causing damage to your vehicle's tires and braking system. With Roadmaster's Stop Light Switch Kit, you will always know when the brake is being depressed, and you will avoid costly damage.

Installed on a 2023 Equinox LT (AWD). I believe there may have been a change to the Equinox brake pedal assembly from prior years. Because of this, I was not able to get the switch located properly with the bracket that is included in the kit. I fashioned my own mounting plate from a piece of diamondplate which I bolted to the brake lever bracketry. This works great and is rock solid.



by:

I purchased this as part of a package which included; Hitch and wiring for my 2022 Equinox, Base plate, Tow Bar, brake System and connecting air hose, break away cables, LED tow lights with wiring harness, and a trickle charger to keep the Equinox battery from going dead while I was towing it behind my class A RV.
I had etrailer do the install of all the components on my car and RV. All the workmanship was excellent and done in the amount of time they said it would take. Also because they did not have a video of this equipment being put on this year and model vehicle, I gave them permission to make a video(which added a extra day and a half to the install)and the installation was free. Everything has worked perfectly and I couldn't be happier. Etrailer is my go to for anything towing and also RV parts.

Worked well for my Demco Stay-in-play brake system. Video was very helpful.



by:

difficult to install



by:

Easy to install, works great.



by:

I was disappointed to find out that I needed this kit instead of being able to tap into the cold side of my car's brake switch as I had done before. The kit was initially puzzling to get the parts oriented correctly in my car but when I did, it was easy to install and had worked fine. I had to put an air adjuster on my Brakemaster and had to balance the tuning on with the tuning on this switch. But it worked out and has given me no problems.



by:

Have to install and let you know
Thank
you



by:

Complete kit. Relatively easy to install but like most newer vehicles, room to work under the dash is tight.

Works GREAT!!!



by:

Instructions were great. Everything was exactly per the instructions. Bracket was perfect for my car. Would be 5 stars, but the fuse tap was wrong size. It came with a mini, but I needed a micro2. Had to order one at local auto store. Will get it Tuesday. You should have kits with different size fuse taps or include multiple sizes in common kit.



by:

Great product, excellent retail experience and prompt shipping. What’s not to like?!
Installation was a breeze and the product has worked flawlessly for a year. Excellent experience!



by:

Installation was straight forward and support available if required.



by:

Excellent product. Installed just like the instructions said it would.



by:

Everything wet well with this product. Seems like it should be offered when your ordering the tow kit itself. Had to order after the fact.

  • Can A Roadmaster Baseplate Be Installed On A 2023 Chevy Equinox RS With Lower Active Air Shutters
    You can still get the Roadmaster Direct-Connect Base Plate Kit # RM-523193-5 to fit, but you'll have to trim or even remove some of the air shutters in order for it to fit. Since that's quite a bit of modification Roadmaster just lists the fit as incompatible and therefore most shops will want to avoid installing the baseplate to avoid any liability. If you haven't picked out the rest of your flat towing components then I have the following recommendations: Tow Bar: etrailer SD Non-Binding...

  • Recommended Brake Light Relay Kit For A 2021 Chevy Equinox LT
    The turn signal lighting on the 2021 Chevy Equinox is combined so you would need to use the relay kit but will want to use the Roadmaster Stop Light Switch Kit # RM-751489 which is custom fit for your vehicle and will send the signal from your vehicle to the RV that your brake is being activated. I've attached a video that will walk you through the steps of installing this switch kit.

  • Recommended Flat Towing Components For A 2018 Chevy Equinox 2LT AWD
    AWD models of the 2018 Chevy Equinox have to have a 1.6L Diesel engine in order to be able to be flat towed. If your 2018 Chevy Equinox 2LT meets this requirement then you'll need the following equipment: Tow Bar: The etrailer SD Non-Binding Tow Bar # e34ZR will fit the baseplate you were looking at. Safety cables are included so you won't have to purchase these separately and the adjustable shank helps to keep the tow bar level between your vehicle and motorhome without needing an adapter....

  • Recommended Baseplate For A 2021 Chevy Equinox With Active Lower Air Shutters
    Hi Dean, The Curt Custom Base Plate Kit # C28FR is the only baseplate we have listed as confirmed fit for models with Lower Active Air Shutters. This baseplate is compatible with both Curt and Blue Ox tow bars. If you haven't picked out the rest of your flat towing components then I have the following recommendations: Tow Bar: Curt Rambler Non-Binding Tow Bar # C26FR Tow Bar Wiring Kit: For L, LS, LT models you'll want the Roadmaster Diode Wiring Kit # RM-15267.

  • Flat Tow Setup for the 2018 Chevy Equinox Premier Diesel
    To Flat tow your 2018 Chevrolet Equinox Premier Diesel you need a base plate kit, tow bar, a set of safety cables, wiring for the lights, a supplemental braking system, and probably a high-low adapter. Since you want to have a shield to protec the Equinox I recommend the Roadmaster EZ4 Base Plate Kit # RM-523193-4. It's the only Roadmaster kit that works with the Guardian Rock Guard, part # RM-4000. They also pair well with the Falcon All-Terrain tow bar, part # RM-522. The All-Terrain...

  • Parts Recommended to F,at Tow a 2022 Chevy Equinox behind Jayco Precept Motorhome
    Roadmaster hasn't been able to get their hands on a 2022 Chevy Equinox to determine the base plate fits, so they cannot say whether or not the base plates for the 2021 model will carry over. However, Blue Ox lists the # BX1730 base plate as a fit, so that's what I'd recommend. Roadmaster offers the # RM-525 Falcon 2 tow bar that's compatible right out of the box with Blue Ox base plates, so it'll work great for you. The Roadmaster Invisibrake, part # RM-8700 would work well for you. You'll...

  • Finding Stoplight Circuit for Brake Controller Install 2018 Chevy Equinox
    Hey Raymond you have two options at this point. You can keep testing the stoplight switch wiring till you find one that only has voltage when the brakes are applied or you could use the universal stoplight switch kit part # RM-751489 which we know for sure works without any guess work. Our usual resource for finding the stoplight switch circuit wire color didn't have any info on your vehicle so it may not have one accessible.

  • Parts Needed To Flat Tow A 2019 Chev Equinox 2.0L AWD
    You're correct that the Roadmaster Nighthawk All Terrain, Non-Binding Tow Bar w/ LED Lights # RM-677 is for Blue Ox baseplates and would not be a compatible fit for the Roadmaster Direct-Connect Base Plate Kit # RM-523193-5. You'll instead need the # RM-676 Nighthawk, which is compatible with Roadmaster Direct-Connect style baseplates. The Nighthawk comes with the 6-way to 7-way cable and the socket but you'll still need the diodes and wiring to transfer your motorhome's signals through...

For 2019 only, includes the 2.0L Turbo FWD and AWD. You shouldn't need any adapters to connect to your Nighthawk tow bar # RM-676 as long as it's the version that has Roadmaster direct-connect style attachment points. There's a version with connectors for Blue Ox baseplates # RM-677 so just double check...

  • Are Flat Towing Parts for 2016 Chevy Equinox the Same as 2019 Chevy Equinox
    The parts to flat tow a 2016 Chevy Equinox and 2019 Chevy Equinox are different because the vehicle underwent a style change but if you are looking to flat tow both I'll give you what you need for each, starting with a 2019 Chevy Equinox: - Base Plate Kit: Demco Tabless Base Plate Kit # DM9519332 - Tow Bar: Demco Excali-Bar III Non-Binding Tow Bar # DM9511013 - Wiring Kit: Roadmaster Diode 7-Wire to 6-Wire Flexo-Coil Wiring Kit # RM-15267 (if the Equinox is a Premier model) OR Roadmaster...

  • Can 2018 Chevy Equinox All Wheel Driver Model Be Flat or Dolly Towed
    According to the owner's manual, only Diesel AWD models are capable of being flat towed, and AWD equipped vehicles are not capable of being dolly towed. Otherwise, the only way to tow the vehicle without damage is on a trailer. I've done some research, and haven't been able to locate any references that indicate that shutting off the AWD system would enable the vehicle to be dolly towed, I'm sorry to say. If the vehicle is a Diesel, to flat tow it you'd need a tow bar, base plates, safety...

  • Does 2019 Chevy Equinox Need Charge Cable to Flat Tow With Roadmaster InvisiBrake
    The Roadmaster InvisiBrake Supplemental Braking System # RM-8700 does not have any type of converter, and though we are not familiar with semi truck wiring, I would assume you would still need to use it. The InvisiBrake will also not keep your battery charged so it is recommended you follow Chevy's instructions in regards to a charge cable. The rest of the parts you'll need to flat tow your 2019 Chevy Equinox are: - Base Plate Kit: Roadmaster Direct-Connect Base Plate Kit - Removable Arms...

  • How Much Time Would It Take To Install a Roadmaster Base Plate and InvisiBrake On a 2020 Equinox LS?
    Roadmaster gives an estimate of 3 hours for their Base Plate # RM-523193-5 on your 2020 Chevrolet Equinox LS. Do understand that this time from is for an experienced technician. If you are installing this yourself Bill, I would double that time for an average DIY enthusiast. The Roadmaster InvisiBrake Flat Tow Brake System # RM-8700 is going to be a 2 hour install time for an experienced technician. Again that would be about double for a DIY enthusiast installing it themselves. Do note...

  • Blue Ox Parts Needed to Flat Tow 2018 Chevy Equinox
    For flat towing your 2018 Chevy Equinox we do have the parts you need to flat tow it. For a base plate kit you'd need to start with the Blue OX part # BX1730 which is a confirmed fit. This would work great with the Blue Ox Tow Bar part # BX7380 that you also mentioned. This is one of the nicest tow bars available so it would be a great choice. The SMI DUO part # SM99251 would then be a great choice as well for supplemental braking. This is a favorite with our installers because of how...

    Yes, the 2019 Chevrolet Equinox can be flat towed. The 1.5L turbocharged FWD, the 1.6L diesel, and the 2.0L engine models can all be flat towed.

    Unfortunately, those shutters are going to be a bit of an issue no matter what you choose ultimately. I recommend going with the etrailer Invisible Base Plate Kit # e98965 paired with the Adapter for Blue Ox Tow Bar to etrailer Tabless Base Plates # e98986. This is going to require you to remove the shutters unfortunately, but the alternative is no base plate kitsince none work with the shutters. Along with that base plate kit and adapter, you're going to need a wiring harness # RO94FR...

If you haven't picked out the rest of your flat towing components then I have the following recommendations: Tow Bar: etrailer SD Non-Binding Tow Bar # e74ZR. This tow bar comes with safety cables bracketed to the arms to prevent them from dragging on the ground. It will require...

  • How To Power Brake Lights On A 2020 Chevrolet Equinox While In Tow Mode
    The stop light circuit on a 2020 Chevrolet Equinox will go dead while in tow mode after a few minutes of inactivity so in order to use the vehicle's taillights to signal you will need to install a stop light switch kit, the Roadmaster Stop Light Switch Kit part # RM-751489. This will then work alongside the Air Force One Supplemental Braking System part # SM99243 as well. I have attached for you below a list of other parts you may need.

Our video we did was on a Equinox that came with the factory 7-way wiring and that may be why you do not see the same wiring.

You will be able to use your existing LED tail lights but you will need the Roadmaster Universal Wiring Kit with Smart Diodes for Variable Voltage LED Tail Lights item # RO44FR. The diodes in this kit convert the 12V signal from your RV to a 9V signal, ensuring that your Equinox's LED tail lights function as intended.

  • Recommendations for Compatible Flat Towing System on 2019 Chevy Equinox
    The Roadmaster Brake Master systems can work on a 2019 Chevy Equinox, but only if the motorhome has air brakes. With hydraulic brakes on your 2000 Rexhall, you will instead want a system that is compatible with both your motorhome and Equinox and adding an air compressor to your motorhome will not allow proper braking function. Instead, I recommend using the Roadmaster InvisiBrake Supplemental Braking System # RM-8700 along with the Roadmaster Stop Light Switch Kit # RM-751489. This...
