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.

- Least Visible Base Plate For 2022 Jeep Wrangler SaharaThe least visible base plate for your 2022 Jeep Wrangler Sahara is from Roadmaster, their direct-connect base plate, with the correct fit being the following part number: - Roadmaster Direct-Connect Base Plate Kit # RM-521453-5 I have added a photo that a customer of our was nice enough to send in, and as you can see, just a smidge of the base plate arms are visible.

view full answer... - 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...

We don't have a video on trimming the skid plate/heat shield. This process is simply trial and error and you'll want to trim a little bit off at a time because you can always remove more but can't add it back. If you haven't gotten the rest of your flat towing components then I have...

Since your 2022 Jeep Cherokee Trailhawk should have a Charge Line # RM-156-25 I recommend using the Roadmaster 7-Wire to 6-Wire Flexo-Coil Kit # RM-146-7 to connect your motorhome to the front of your Jeep.

The # RM-15267 I recommended before would be the correct choice if you didn't have those sensors. I've attached some videos below to help you with the installation process as well.
