2010 Honda CR-V - Roadmaster 4-Diode Universal Wiring Kit for Towed Vehicles - 4-Way Flat Connectors
- Diode Kit
- Splices into Vehicle Wiring
- Tail Light Mount
- Universal
- Roadmaster
This wiring kit carries your RV's brake and turn signals to your towed car's tail lights. Diodes prevent damage from electrical feedback. Connects RV and towed car with 4-pole flat plugs. Includes installation hardware.
Features:
- Carries your RV's tail, brake, and turn signals to your towed car
- Prevents feedback that can damage your vehicle's electrical components with diodes
- Includes:
- 4 Hy-Power diodes
- (2) 4-Wire harnesses with 4-pole flat connectors
- Butt connectors, 1 ring terminal, zip ties, and plastic loom
Specs:
- Max amperage: 85 amps
- Max voltage: 24 volts
- Power cord: 6' long
- 4-Wire harness: 30' long
- Plastic loom: 3' long
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, or 2-wire 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, or 3-wire 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 the engine is off and your car's brake lights illuminate when you press the brake pedal, 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.

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.

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.

Works perfectly and straightforward instructions made it easy to install.

My parts arrived intact and in a timely manner. I am very pleased with my purchase.
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.
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.

- Do I Need to Remove the Roadmaster Direct-Connect Base Plate Kit - Removable Arms # RM-521448-5You will not need to remove the Roadmaster Direct-Connect Base Plate Kit - Removable Arms # RM-521448-5 when you explore off-road. You will want to remove the removable arms just to prevent them from getting damaged. The Roadmaster Direct-Connect Base Plate kit is heavy duty and it also fits snug against the bumper and rock guard. If you need a tow bar I recommend the Roadmaster Falcon All Terrain, Non-Binding Tow Bar - Motorhome Mount - 2" Hitch - 6,000 lbs # RM-522. I recommend the...

Before you do anything else, consult the truck owners manual to determine if it can be flat towed and if there are any special requirements. To add base plates on a 2002 Ford F-150, if it is a 2-wheel drive model and is not a Harley Davidson or Lightening model then you can use # 492-1 for base plates. For a 4-wheel drive that is not a diesel...
view full answer... - 4-Way Round Chrome Car End for a 2003 Jeep Wrangler To Tow Behind Motor HomeTo install towing lights on your 2003 Jeep Wrangler you have two options. One way is to use a taillight isolating diode system, RM-154, to wire the motor home lighting system into the cars with diodes protecting both from damage. The second is to use a separate set of bulbs in the rear taillights, RM-155, that are run only from the motor home and do not interact with the vehicle wiring. This option requires enough space in the towed vehicles taillights to mount the extra bulb, but it eliminates...
view full answer... - Where to Install Diodes for Flat Towing a 2013 Honda CR-VI have included a link to a video on the 4-diode kit # RM-154 being installed on a 2014 Honda CR-V that will help. All you will need is access to the wiring behind the tail lights of the vehicle as if you were going to change a bulb. Its actually probably easier on the CR-V than the Fit! Once you have access to the wiring behind the tail lights you will just test the wires to determine the functions and install the diodes and wiring accordingly.
view full answer... - Is a Brake Light Relay Needed when flat Towing a 2000 Jeep Wrangler Behind an RVYou will most likely need a brake light relay when flat towing your 2000 Jeep Wrangler. The # RM-88400 relay is required to prevent the towed vehicle's brake signal from overriding the turn signal from the RV when applying the brakes during a turn. I have linked a video showing an example installation of the relay but it is on a much newer Jeep so some things will likely be different on your 2000 Wrangler.

For a tow bar wiring kit, there isn't one that utilizes the towing package wiring, but I recommend using the Roadmaster Universal Hy-Power Diode Wiring Kit # RM-154 which...

To find the cold side of the brake light switch you'll want to check out the video I attached that details the installation of a brake controller using a plug in adapter; the adapter plugs into the fuse box near the driver's side kick plate. You'll want to find the back of that and test those wires to determine which wire...

Please note the linked installation video below. If you need wiring for your indicator lights, I suggest the Roadmaster Universal Hy-Power Diode Wiring Kit, # RM-154 and for supplemental braking system, the Brake Buddy Stealth Supplemental Braking System, # HM39530.

This will then pair perfectly with the Roadmaster Nighthawk All Terrain, Non-Binding Tow Bar part # RM-676 which is what I recommend. Please note, any aftermarket winches could interfere with the base plate depending on location so you will need to keep this in mind during installation. There aren't any options designed for aftermarket winches so you...

view full answer... - Parts Suggestions for Flat Towing 1996 Geo TrackerA tow bar isn't vehicle specific, so it will work with just about any vehicle that has a compatible base plate kit installed on it. For a 1996 Geo Tracker 2 door, you'd want to use the Demco # DM9517023 base plate kit which is compatible with your tow bar. You'll also need safety cables like the # RM-643 if you don't have them already. To wire the taillights so they operate in sync with those on the tow vehicle, I'd recommend a diode system like part # RM-154. The Blue Ox Patriot braking...

- Flat Towing an 2015 Ford F-350 With 4 Wheels DownAfter verifying in the owners manual, this 2015 Ford model F-350 should only be towed with four wheels down if it contains a Manual Transfer Case. The Owner's Manual does provide specific instructions on how to flat tow correctly if this applies to your vehicle. If your vehicle has an Electronic Transfer Case, it requires a Drive Shaft Coupling to tow. A word of caution however that the owners manual still says clearly not to do this so it's still a risk taken if you go this route. When...

Basically the side with the single connector is for the wire that goes directly to your tail light while the side with two connectors is used for the OEM wiring on your F-150 and each of the 4 wires on the harness. I have attached an installation video of this kit on a 2016 F-150 that you can reference. There are...

Our website separates the vehicle fits for base plates because there are some base plates that will not fit the HD models, but this base plate will fit.

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.
