Roadmaster Flat Tow Brake System - RM-751449
- 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
- Limited Lifetime Warranty
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.

Really good.thank you!!

Upon the recommendation of one of your towing specialists, I ordered every component that I needed to flat tow my 2014 Jeep Grand Cherokee behind my 2013 Newmar Bay Star motorhome. I got the necessary Roadmaster tow bar and other accessories plus the SMI Stay-IN-Play braking system. I have towed over 5000 miles so far without any significant issues. Hook up is straight-forward and takes about 15 minutes to complete. I couldn't be happier with the towing experience!

Unit worked well, fit nicely. Was awkward for me to install because of location under dash, but bracket was designed well fit right up.

Bracket came with one undersized bolt and nut. The bracket it attached to had two holes. If the bracket was longer and had another bolt it would be more stable.

I recommend looking at the video installation that we have on a 2015 Jeep Grand Cherokee starting at mark 2:18. You can see the bracket location and that it uses a five sixteenth by three quarter inch bolt.
by: Duane 04/24/2021
Used it for the brake activation light in my towed vehicle. Easily adjustable as far as depth . Positioning took a little work but the bracket is specific to a vehicle other than mine.

Working like a champ! Install was a breeze with etrailer. Can't believe that I was on the road without a TOAD brake.
by: Scott P.04/16/2017
All of the etrailer.com products I have purchased were perfect. The shipping was right on time. I have told several of my friends and acquaintances about etrailer.com.
by: Joe M., Katy, TX07/21/2018
Instructions in the kit and video on the website were very complete and made for a very easy installation. Suggestion to Roadmaster on the bracket....make some sort of positive location tab for the bracket because the location is only made secure by the tightening of the bolt. Also, the way the Jeep bracket that you bolt to is designed, there's no way to get a wrench or socket to hold the backside bolt head. Maybe come up with something to keep it from spinning.

A necessity for the towing application. It works perfectly.

- Roadmaster Parts Needed to Flat Tow a 2017 Jeep Grand CherokeeThanks for reaching out, and I'd be happy to help out! You chose some great products to use for flat towing your 2017 Jeep Grand Cherokee and I really only have 2 changes; the tow bar you selected has an umbilical so you only need part of the wiring kit, and you will need a stop light switch as well. This means the parts needed to flat tow your vehicle are: Direct-Connect Base Plate Kit - # RM-521440-5 Nighthawk All Terrain, Non-Binding Tow Bar - # RM-676 Towing Combo Kit - # RM-9284-2...
view full answer... - 2019 Jeep Grand Cherokee Flat Tow Parts RecommendationsFor a complete flat tow kit for your 2019 Jeep Grand Cherokee you will need a base plate kit, tow bar, safety cables, vehicle tow bar wiring, a supplemental braking system, and possibly a high-low adapter. Here is what I recommend: etrailer Invisible Base Plate Kit - # e98950 etrailer SD Non-Binding Tow Bar - # e34ZR (comes with safety cables) Flexo-Coil Wiring Kit - # RM-15267 Stop Light Switch Kit - # RM-751449 Brake System - Part # DM86VR for hydraulic or part # DM26VR for air motorhome...

- Recommended Flat Tow Wiring Kit For A 2019 Jeep Grand Cherokee The 2019 Jeep Grand Cherokee is not compatible with bulb and socket kits from Roadmaster like the # RM-152-LED that you referenced. Bulb and socket kits will actually cause much more harm since you'd have to drill into the tail light housing and run the risk of damaging the light and will typically also face issues with water leaking into the taillight through the hole the bulb and socket kit uses. You'd be much better off just using a splice in kit like the Roadmaster Diode 7-Wire to...
view full answer... - Is The Blue Ox Alpha Tow Bar Capable Of Towing A 2018 Jeep Grand Cherokee The curb weight of a 2018 Jeep Grand Cherokee is up to to 5,363lbs, not including anything you're hauling inside of the vehicle. The Blue OX BX7365 has a 6,500lb weight capacity so you would most likely be more than fine using it and would be able to carry a bit of extra weight. That being said you should also verify the capacity of the motorhome's trailer hitch to ensure it's capable. If you haven't already gotten the rest of your components then I have the following recommendations: Baseplate:...
view full answer... - Tips For Finding Cold Side of Stop Light Switch Wire on 2020 Jeep Grand CherokeeUnfortunately I do not have a video of finding the coldside of the stop light switch on your 2020 Jeep Grand Cherokee, so you'll just need to keep testing the wires going to the stop light switch with a circuit tester like # PTW2993 until you find the one that only gets power when you press the brake pedal. I don't know which circuit tester you're using but the one with the hook makes it much easier to test those stupid small wires that the OEMs like to use for the brake light switch,...
view full answer... - Is A Stop Light Switch Kit Needed For A 2022 Jeep Cherokee The brake light switch wire for the 2022 Jeep Cherokee isn't useable so you would need to install the Roadmaster Stop Light Switch Kit # RM-751471 in order to get the braking signal. The Roadmaster Stop Light Switch Kit # RM-751449 you referenced would only be compatible with select Jeep Grand Cherokee's so it wouldn't be a fit for your vehicle. I've attached a short video below where Ryan will walk you through the installation process.
view full answer... - Equipping a 2020 Jeep Grand Cherokee for Trailer and Flat TowingLet's begin with a hitch and trailer wiring for towing your RV with the Jeep Grand Cherokee. For a hitch, I'd recommend the Curt Class III hitch, part # C13182. You'll also need a ball mount and a trailer ball, provided in the # 989900 etrailer ball mount kit. For a brake controller, I'd go with the Curt # C51180 Echo Wireless Brake controller. The Echo will communicate wirelessly with your smart phone, which you'll use to control the braking action of the trailer. For a vehicle equipped...
view full answer... - What Powers The Diodes In A Diode Wiring Kit The diode wiring isn't going to be wired in series so you won't have to worry about the voltage increasing. It will only be powered by the 7-way of your motorhome when the brakes or the turn signals are activated on the motorhome. I've attached a video below where Ryan will walk you through the installation of your diode wiring. Since your 2022 Jeep Grand Cherokee has combined wiring and an unusable brake light switch wire you'll need the Roadmaster Stop Light Switch Kit # RM-751449 (WK...
view full answer... - Recommended Tow Bar and Other Parts to Flat Tow a 2014 Jeep Grand Cherokee LimitedThe tow bar I recommend is the Roadmaster Falcon 2 # RM-520. It's one of our most popular tow bars and you can't go wrong with it. It self aligns as you drive forward in your RV. It's also compatible with all Roadmaster base plate kits. The base plate kit I suggest is the Roadmaster EZ4 # RM-521440-4. It's designed specifically for your 2014 Jeep Grand Cherokee Limited. The arms are removable so they're not as noticeable as other kits can be. To power the Jeep's lights I suggest...
view full answer... - Complete Towing Setup For A 2011 Honda CR-VYes, the Brake Buddy Select 3 Portable Supplemental Braking System # HM39524 will work great in place of the Roadmaster Even Brake Portable Supplemental Braking System # RM-9400. If you plan on flat towing your 2011 Honda CR-V often, I recommend installing a permanent system like the Roadmaster BrakeMaster System w BrakeAway for RVs w Air or Air Over Hydraulic Brakes # RM-9160. This is a one time install system that makes connecting and disconnecting your toad much easier and faster. If...
view full answer... - Can the Monitor Light and CoachLink be Hooked to the Same WireFor starters, a 2015 Jeep Grand Cherokee and 2015 Jeep Wrangler are very different vehicles in regards to flat-towing components so looking at installation videos on a Wrangler is just going to confuse you. The Grand Cherokee actually does not have an active stop light circuit so you will need to use the Roadmaster Stop Light Switch Kit part # RM-751449. The Jeep Wrangler does have an active stop light switch circuit which is why you need to use the Roadmaster Brake-Lite Relay Kit part...
view full answer... - Parts Needed to Flat Tow 2014-2018 Jeep Grand CherokeeIn order to flat tow your Jeep Grand Cherokee behind an RV you need a base plate kit, a tow bar, safety cables, a lighting solution, a supplemental braking system, and likely a high-low adapter. Starting with the base plates, I recommend the Roadmaster EZ5 Base Plate Kit # RM-521440-5. This kit is custom fit for your Grand Cherokee and features a hidden bracket design that provides a clean look when you aren't towing. Its black powder coat finish is durable and corrosion resistant. Then...
view full answer... - Where Should The 12 Volt Wires Be Connected On A 7 Way To 6 Way Wire Connection?I will start by saying I can find nowhere that says your 2020 Jeep Grand Cherokee needs to have the battery disconnected in order to be flat towed. However, I did find a few things about people contacting the Jeep Product Information Center and them then saying that this was something they had originally said in the owner's manual, but is no longer needed for flat towing. With that being said, it is required that you use the Stop Light Switch Kit # RM-751449 if you are going to be using...

- Can the Roadmaster InvisiBrake Supplemental Braking System be Used on a 2011 Jeep Grand CherokeeYes, you can use the InvisiBrake, # RM-8700, on your 2011 Jeep Grand Cherokee. In order for it to work properly you will need to have a wiring system that taps into the vehicle wiring like # RM-154 and you will need Stop Light Switch Kit, # RM-751449. I have included a link to a video showing a typical installation of the InvisiBrake for you to view. I have also included some helpful links on flat towing for you.
view full answer... - Wiring Roadmaster Brake Light Switch Kit for SMI DUO and CoachlinkTo use the Roadmaster Stop Light Switch Kit # RM-751449 that you referenced for two circuits is not difficult at all. If you check out the picture I attached you'll see where to add the second wire to the butt connector so that the switch can work for both products you mentioned.

- Is a Brake Lite Relay Required for 2018 Jeep Grand Cherokee Being Flat TowedI understand, there is a lot of components to flat tow a vehicle and even from year to year model changes can make a big difference. You do not need a brake lite relay for the Roadmaster Even Brake Portable Supplemental Braking System # RM-9400 on your 2018 Jeep Grand Cherokee. That's because when you put your Grand Cherokee into "tow mode" the brake pedal does not provide any power to the brake lights. A brake lite relay is used to not allow power to go through when towing, and allow...
view full answer... - Complete Flat Towing Setup For A 2015 Jeep Grand CherokeeFor your 2015 Jeep Grand Cherokee, I recommend going with the: -Curt Custom Base Plate Kit # C58FR. This base plate kit is custom fit to your vehicle, features a simple bolt-on installation, and is compatible with Blue Ox and Curt tow bars like the Curt Rambler Steel Tow Bar for Curt and Blue Ox Base Plates # C26FR. Additionally, if you're needing a complete flat towing setup you're also going to need: -A wiring kit: Roadmaster Diode 7-Wire to 6-Wire Flexo-Coil Wiring Kit # RM-15267, -A...
view full answer... - Complete Flat Towing Package Recommendation for a 2014 Jeep Grand Cherokee LimitedTo tow your 2014 Jeep Grand Cherokee with your motorhome there are several things that you will need. You will need a tow bar, base plate kit, safety cables, tow bar wiring, and a supplemental braking system. The tow bar installs on your motorhome and then connects to the base plates on your Jeep. I was able to find that your 2014 Jeep Grand Cherokee has a gross vehicle weight of up to 6500 pounds, so a tow bar that is rated for this weight that I recommend is the Roadmaster Blackhawk...

Both the baseplate and wiring you picked out are a compatible fit. If you haven't picked out your tow bar and braking system then I have the following recommendations: Tow Bar: etrailer SD Non-Binding Tow Bar # e74ZR. This tow bar comes with safety cables included so you won't have to purchase...

- All Parts Needed to Flat Tow 2014 Jeep Grand Cherokee Behind a MotorhomeYou are correct that there are quite a few parts necessary to flat tow your 2014 Jeep Grand Cherokee behind your motorhome but I'll be happy to list everything you'll need. As you mentioned, you'll need base plates, and the Roadmaster EZ5 # RM-521440-5 is a confirmed fit for your Jeep so long as it is not an SRT-8 model, which since you listed this part I assume it is not. For a tow bar I recommend the Roadmaster Falcon 2 # RM-520 which is out most popular option due to how easy it is...
view full answer... - Parts Needed to Flat Tow a 2014 Jeep Grand Cherokee Summit with a Roadmaster Sterling Tow BarI'm not familiar with a Cherokee Summit so I think you mean you have a 2014 Jeep Grand Cherokee Summit. If I'm wrong about this let me know. But I'll give you parts for both. Both Roadmaster EZ4 # RM-521440-4 and EZ5 # RM-521440-5 base plate kits that fit the Grand Cherokee will work with the Sterling tow bar. The same with the Cherokee except use EZ4 # RM-521447-4 or EZ5 # RM-521447-5. For either Jeep the Sterling tow bar safety cables will not work with the EZ5 kits. If you need...
view full answer... - Comparing the Blue Ox Patriot and Roadmaster Even Brake Systems for a 2018 Jeep Grand CherokeeEven though the Blue Ox Patriot # BLU37TR and the Roadmaster Even Brake # RM-9400 are very similar systems I recommend using the Patriot II. It is easier to set up, uses less power so it will take much longer for this system to drain your battery, and it doesn't require the use of additional parts so that it is compatible with your vehicle. Attached are some videos that you can reference for the installation. For a complete flat towing setup you will need a base plate kit, tow bar, safety...
view full answer... - Parts Needed to Flat Tow 2020 Jeep Grand Cherokee Laredo & Does Battery Need DisconnectingAfter research and checking with Roadmaster I found that the battery does not need to be disconnected on your 2020 Jeep Grand Cherokee Laredo to flat tow it. You can certainly reach out to Jeep for verification but the latest online version of the manual also does not have this step as a requirement. So that will alleviate any of the issues, and in order to flat tow your '20 Grand Cherokee Laredo you will need the following: - Base Plate Kit: Roadmaster Direct-Connect Base Plate Kit #...

With that said, we can help you find all of the parts you need to flat tow your 2020 Jeep Grand Cherokee; a complete flat towing setup consists of base plates, a tow bar, safety cables, tow bar wiring, supplemental...
