This smart diode wiring kit lets you connect your RV's tail, brake, and turn signal lights to your towed car's lighting system so that you'll have the signal lights necessary for flat towing your vehicle.
Because your vehicle has variable voltage tail lights, you cannot use a standard diode wiring kit to get these signal lights. If regular diodes are used on a vehicle that has variable voltage tail lights, the bulbs will light up as though the towed car is braking whenever the tail lights are on. In other words, there will be no difference between the vehicle's brake lights and running lights. This is because variable voltage tail lights use the same wire to power both the brake lights and tail lights. They do this by using a 12-volt signal for brake lights and a 9-volt signal for tail lights.
Smart diodes correctly modulate the 12-volt signal coming from your RV to activate only the intended circuit. The result is that your vehicle's tail lights look and function as intended.
This wiring kit is designed to work with LED lights only. If your vehicle has incandescent lights, you'll need to use the smart diode kit designed for incandescent tail lights (RO94FR - sold separately) instead.
When installing this kit, you will need to add either a 4-way or 6-way round electrical connector to the front of your vehicle so you can connect to your RV when you're ready to tow. Use one of Roadmaster's coiled cable kits (RM-164-7 or RM-146-7 - sold separately) to get both the connector and the adapter cord needed for fast, easy hookup.
If your RV has separate tail light wiring, wherein the brake and turn signals run on separate wires, you'll need a wiring converter (RM-732 - sold separately) to complete this installation.

A complicated setup for the newer 4-wire tail light systems made easy with the online video featuring the make/model that I was wiring. Thank you.
by: Dale 12/28/2023
The wiring kit had excellent directions & video which made the install a breeze. It would be even better if it lighted more of the tail lights and brake lights. Most likely it is because of my vehicle design. We did a 7700 mile trip with no issues and worked as expected. I would recommend this item.
by: Kirk09/16/2023
I ordered this back in June but had not opened the package until today when a friend was here to assist me with installing it. Unfortunately, it was missing the Insta-dapt Adapter and the hose clamps. I am sure I can use regular hose clamps but definitely need Instadapt Adapter. Would you please send that to me

Braking system worked great on my Jeep. We towed the vehicle on a 6000 mile journey this year. We were up and more importantly, down the Rocky Mountains and the braking system never failed us. Would definitely recommend.

Good kit and etrailer installation video was fantastic. Install went well and was happy to have a helper when dealing with removal/reassembly of body parts.
On complaint that is directed at Roadmaster. They need to use some more appropriate self-tapping screws for taillight area. Metal is thin and self-tapping screws included are large and course threaded. The provided screws would not tighten up properly. I ended up needing to substitute some screws from my parts bin to get a good connection.

- Does Standard Diode Wiring Kit Fit 2021 Jeep Wrangler For Flat TowingGood question, and I checked with Roadmaster for you, and correct tow bar wiring diode kit will depend on if your 2021 Jeep Wrangler has the ParkSense proximity sensors or not. If it does have the ParkSense you will need the kit with smart diodes that ensures your tail lights get the proper voltage. The reason for that is Jeeps with ParkSense have variable voltage tail lights, which means two different voltages depending on if the signal is for braking or turning. So here is what you will...

view full answer... - Base Plate Options For 2023 Jeep Gladiator Mojave For Flat Towing Behind MotorhomeThere are a couple options for base plates on your 2023 Jeep Gladiator Mojave, which are the Roadmaster you mentioned, as well as Blue Ox. Here are the part numbers for both: - Roadmaster Direct-Connect Base Plate Kit # RM77VR - Blue Ox Base Plate Kit # BLU53FR To be frank, the difference between these two base plates is essentially nil. For most people it comes down to what tow bar they have, but since you don't have a tow bar yet, go with the Roadmaster. Reason for that is their tow...

view full answer... - Recommended Flat Towing Parts for a 2022 Jeep Cherokee TrailHawkThe best base plate kit for your 2022 Jeep Cherokee Trailhawk is going to be the Blue Ox Base Plate Kit item # BX1143. This kit is custom fit for the Trailhawks and even fits the models with a two-speed transfer case, and models with active air shutters. Roadmaster's do not. The removable arms will have your Jeep looking as close to factory as possible when you are not flat towing. Since your 2022 Cherokee Trailhawk has LED lights and the ParkSense feature, you will need the Roadmaster...
view full answer... - Tow Bar Wiring Kit Needed For Flat Towing A 2023 Jeep Grand Cherokee Summit The brake light switch wire for your 2023 Jeep Grand Cherokee Summit isn't useable so you wouldn't be able to install a brake light relay kit any way. In cases like this the turn signal will override the brake signal until the computer inside the Jeep "goes to sleep" after about 20 minutes. The general guideline is to just get all hooked up and running and let it idle for 20 minutes but gas isn't cheap so most people just take off and let it go to sleep while already towing. Since you...
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... - Comparing Smart Diode Wiring Kits RM47ZR And RM63MRThe Roadmaster Smart Diode Kits # RM47ZR and # RM63MR are quite similar in that they both contain the same smart diodes, and wiring components. The difference is that the # RM63MR also comes with a 6-pin round plug for the front of the vehicle, as well as a coiled cable to connect the towed vehicle to the Rv 7-way plug. So unless you already have a 7 to 6 coiled cable and a 6-pin socket laying around, we recommend getting the # RM63MR, as it will come with everything you will need to wire...

view full answer... - How Can I Add A Charge Line To My 2023 Jeep Cherokee Trailhawk? It sounds like you have done your homework. You are correct that the smart diode kit # RM47ZR will be needed for your 2023 Trailhawk. This kit does not include a charge line. The good news is we carry a wiring kit specifically for this purpose # RM-156-25. If you already have your 6 pin socket, this kit is all you will need to run a charge from the coach. I have linked an install video below if you want to take a look.

These base plates have a direct-connect connection point for quick and easy hookup as well as removable arms to preserve the factory look of your Jeep when not in use.

This tow bar features non-binding latches and a swivel function that makes it easy to connect or disconnect from your base plates, even on unlevel ground.

view full answer... - Which Diode Tow Bar Lighting Kit for 2022 Jeep Cherokee TrailhawkYou do not need to remove a trailer brake controller from a vehicle like your motorhome when flat towing a vehicle. The brake output circuit of the brake controller won't affect anything so it can be left as-is. The braking systems for towed vehicles do not go through the traditional trailer wiring like for example the Demco SBS DUO part # SM99251 which uses the brake light signal of the towed vehicle to engage it and then it's own inertia sensor to determine how hard it applies brake pedal...
view full answer... - Does Flat Tow Wiring Kit For 2022 Jeep Cherokee Trailhawk Include Power to BatteryThe wiring kit to flat tow your 2022 Jeep Cherokee Trailhawk does not include a charge line to the battery, so you would need to get one separately and install that so the battery does not die. If your motorhome does not have a charge line you would also need that (though most do so long as your motorhome has a 7-way). Since your '22 Cherokee Trailhawk has LED lights and the ParkSense feature, there is a specific wiring harness you'll need, and I'll go ahead and list out all the parts...
