- Wiring kit lets you connect your RV's tail, brake, and turn signal lights to your towed car's lighting system
- Smart diodes ensure that your variable voltage, incandescent tail lights function as they should while your car's being towed
- Converts the 12V signal from your RV's wiring to a 9V signal so your tail lights work as intended
- Prevents electrical feedback that can damage your vehicle's electrical components
- Power coated aluminum casing on diodes is corrosion resistant and provides protection from the elements

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 incandescent lights only. If your vehicle has LEDs, you'll need to use the smart diode kit designed for LED tail lights (RO44FR - 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.

Smart diodes worked well with my 2023 Chevy Trailblazer. Only two diodes required vs. four that were required in my previous setup on an different vehicle.

Extremely impressed I ordered a wiring harness on a Thursday afternoon expecting it it be delivered on Monday we had changed our travel plans to delay our departure untilTuesday However almost miraculously the part was delivered by 8 am the next morning allowing it to be installed the same day I could not believe it and am extremely impressed at their efficiency

Chevrolet Equinox
This kit worked out great for my 2022 Chevy Equinox. I like how it has separate side plates, which make it easier to attach the main bar. The points where it attaches to the frame seem plenty secure. It is important to watch the videos provided by etrailer as Ryan is very thorough and has good tips for installing. I would also recommend installing additional wiring while having the front end off. Overall, I was able to complete in my driveway. The hardest part was sorting out the wiring for whatever braking and tail lights you decide on. William S helped me pick all the necessary components needed for flat towing behind my Jayco RV. I am looking forward to a summer of camping and having more freedom to explore the area, now having a car.

2021 Chevrolet Spark
Installation is Easy & Clear. The most challenging part is getting the Fascia Quarter panels to separate from the clips. I found that there is an additional identical screw a little deeper behind the one that is instructed to remove. If both screws are removed - fascia doesn't have to be tugged on and it easily releases itself without breaking any clips. The Safety Cables are not easily routed away from the belt on the passenger side but there are three factory holes in the body that they can be secured to help keep clear from the belt.

What is there to say except it works and works well!
by: Travis04/04/2022
Video (2020 Equinox) easy to follow. Passenger side wiring was TIGHT after making the butt connection from the light wiring TO the diode pack. I suggest adding additional wiring to this junction before connecting to the diode pack. Good use of GREEN wiring in kit, pay attention to video.

view full answer... - Do You Need to Run a 2021, 2022 or 2023 Chevrolet Equinox at Certain Times When Flat TowingYes, the engine on your Chevrolet Equinox will need to be run at times when flat towing. The easiest way to determine what needs to be done to flat tow your Equinox is to consult your owners manual. I went ahead and took a look at the owners manual for both the 2021 and 2022 Chevrolet Equinox. For either model year, you will need to run the vehicle at the beginning of each day and at each RV fuel stop for about 5 minutes. This will ensure proper lubrication of the transmission components.

If you choose not to use # RM47ZR and you use # BLU79FR you will not need any additional wiring as this is a plugs into your vehicle's harness. If you choose to use # RM47ZR, then you may need the Roadmaster Brake-Lite Relay Kit # RM-88400 if you use this kit with a supplemental braking...

view full answer... - Parts Needed To Flat Tow A 2013 Mini Cooper S Countryman JCW 6 Speed ManualAccording to the manufacturer, Mini Coopers should absolutely not be flat towed. That said, we have found that as long as it is a manual transmission, it should be good to flat tow. You will void your transmission warranty by doing so. If it already has a base plate installed, I would assume that it has already been towed and you should be good to go. If you are unsure of the base plate brand, feel free to send me a few pictures and I should be able to identify. I would also be curious...

This fits all trim levels WITHOUT lower active grill shutters. For a Blue Ox Base Plate Kit, you can use # BX1730. For a complete flat tow arrangement for a 2022 Chevrolet Equinox, you will need a base plate kit, safety cables and a wiring solution to synchronize your RV’s lights to the Equinox. You will also need a supplemental braking system to synchronize your RV and towed vehicle's brakes. Once the selected...

It depends on what lighting system your Bronco has. If your vehicle has the variable voltage LED lighting you will want the # RO44FR. If it has incandescent lighting you will need the # RO94FR. The type of lighting will be specified in your owners manual. The Bronco LED lights look very different from the incandescent. The LEDs will have a clear lens with red behind, while the incandescent has a red/white...

In fact, since your '22 Spark uses variable voltage tail lights (where all of the signals are sent down a single wire), you'll need a specific tow bar wiring kit, the Roadmaster Universal Wiring Kit with Smart Diodes for Variable Voltage Incandescent Tail...
view full answer... - Recommended Complete Flat Towing Setup for a 2020 Chevrolet Equinox With Active ShuttersUnfortunately, 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.

view full answer... - Complete Roadmaster Flat Towing Set Up For 2022 Chevy Spark LT w/ Manual TransmissionThose parts will indeed fit your 2022 Chevy Spark LT with manual transmission, but there is one change I highly recommend, which is a tow bar different than the Falcon 2 # RM-520. The reason for that is the Falcon 2 can bind and is difficult to use without an added tool, the RoadMaster Release Tool # RM-066. It will be much, much simpler for you to disconnect a non-binding tow bar with quick-release latches, the Falcon All-Terrain. The All-Terrain also has guides for the wiring so the...

Disconnecting the battery is safe, but there would be no reason to add a battery disconnect. You will, however, want to use the Roadmaster Battery Charge Line Kit for Towed Vehicles # RM-156-25. If your motorhome does not already have a charge line kit you will also need the Roadmaster Battery Charge Line Kit for Motorhomes # RM-156-75....

You'll instead need the # RM-676 Nighthawk, which is compatible with Roadmaster Direct-Connect style baseplates.

But you will need a 12 Volt Outlet Kit # RM-9332 to power the Patriot braking system as the factory 12 volt will not have power when being flat towed.
