2014 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited - Roadmaster 4-Diode Universal Wiring Kit for Towed Vehicles - 4-Way Flat Connectors
- Diode Kit
- Splices into Vehicle Wiring
- Tail Light Mount
- Roadmaster
- Universal
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.
by: Billy02/08/2024
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.
by: Gregory H04/19/2024
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.

Excellent help when ordering and follow through when order received. Can’t beat their customer service and sit!!

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.

I used this on a 1988 Toyota Land Cruiser, so I could flat tow it behind an Motorhome. Easy to install!
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.

- 2021 Grand Cherokee Overland Flat Towing RecommendationsThe Roadmaster Direct-Connect Base Plate Kit - Removable Arms Item # RM-521440-5 and any Roadmaster tow bar excluding the Tracker and StowMaster tow bars will be a great and easy setup choice. Personally I recommend the Roadmaster Falcon All Terrain, Non-Binding Tow Bar - Motorhome Mount - 2" Hitch - 6,000lbs Item # RM-522 because it has a 6,000lbs weight capacity so you load your Jeep up with extra cargo, is non-binding, and is a quick and easy hookup. We do offer installation and our...
view full answer... - Recommended Flat Towing Equipment For A 2014 GMC AcadiaFor your 2014 GMC Acadia I recommend the Blue Ox Base Plate Kit - Removable Arms Item # BX1708. The hidden reinforcements, along with the removable bracket arms, provide a clean, unobtrusive look when your car is not being towed. The other equipment you will need for flat towing your vehicle is a tow bar, tow bar wiring, a braking system, and some safety cables. I have the following recommendations for you below: Tow Bar: Demco Commander II Non-Binding Tow Bar for Blue Ox Base Plates...
view full answer... - Adapter Recommendation for a Motorhome with 7-way Towing a Tow Dolly with a 4-WayIf your motorhome has a round 7-way with flat, blade-style pins on the inside of the connector you should have combined signals on this connector. Your motorhome may have separate circuit lights, but 99.9 percent of 7-way trailer connectors are wired for combined tail light circuits so I would be very surprised if yours did as well. You could verify this with a circuit tester like our part # PTW2993 to verify the circuits while a buddy applies the different stop and turns signals from...

- How to Determine Where to Connect Tow Bar Wiring for 2019 Chevy Equinox PremierTo install the Universal Hy-Power Diode Wiring Kit # RM-154 on your 2019 Chevy Equinox Premier you will need to use a circuit tester like part # PTW2991 to determine what wiring colors for your tail lights carry which functions. Unfortunately we don't have a wiring diagram for your vehicle that I can pass along to you. Attached is an installation video on a 2018 Equinox that you can use as an example but I'd still test your wiring to make sure everything is connected to the proper circuit.
view full answer... - Parts Needed to Use Demco Kwik-Tow Tow bar with Newer Base Plates on 2021 Jeep Grand CherokeeI have a solution for you, but there are a few issues that are coming up here. First, your Demco Kwik-Tow tow bar is only rated for a maximum of 5000-lbs and it looks like the curb weight of your 2021 Jeep Grand Cherokee is around 5300-lbs; this is going to put you over the weight limit at worst and potentially right at it with lesser trim packages. Considering the age of the Kwik-Tow, it might not be the safest solution for this. Additionally, Demco has not confirmed the fit of any base...
view full answer... - Parts Needed to Flat Tow a 2009 Chevy HHR Behind a Motor Home with Blue Ox Aladdin Tow BarYes, your Blue Ox Aladdin tow bar will work with Blue Ox base plates # BX1692 for your 2009 Chevy HHR. If you do not already have safety cables you can add some using # RM-643. In addition to the tow bar, cables, and base plates, you will also need a lighting solution and supplemental braking if you don't have those things already. For lighting you can use a simple magnetic kit such as # RM-2120 or for a more permanent solution I recommend diode kit # RM-154 which plugs into a 4-Way flat...

With these two parts, your tow bar is set. All you have left is wiring/lights and possibly a supplemental braking system. We have two basic options for wiring/lights. You can use a diode wiring kit like part # RM-154. This kit wires diodes into your existing Tacoma wiring and will use the factory Tacoma lights when towing. I have added...

This is a Roadmaster base plate kit that can be towed with a properly rated tow bar like the Roadmaster Blackhawk 2 part # RM-422 that has a 10k capacity. For safety cables you can use # RM-643. The coiled design helps keep the cables off of the ground. For lighting you would want the part # RM-154 that taps into the taillight wiring of your vehicle. And finally,...
view full answer... - How To Wire Tow Vehicle with Separate Brake/Turn Lights to Motorhome with Combined LightsIt sounds like you need a diode kit, the Roadmaster Diode 7-Wire to 6-Wire Flexo-Coil Wiring Kit part # RM-15267 or part # RM-154. The Roadmaster Diode Kits will combine the separate brake/turn signal circuits on the vehicle so you can power them from the motorhome with combined brake/turn signal circuits. Once the Roadmaster Diode Kit is installed, the brake light bulb will also double as the turn signal. The main difference between the Roadmaster Diode Kits is that the former has extra...

These base plates will work with your Roadmaster Falcon All Terrain tow bar # RM-522 using the included quick-disconnects and crossbar. You will also need safety chains, Roadmaster # RM-643 for 68" chains or # RM-645-76 for 76" chains. For lighting, you can either use magnetic tow lights # TL21RK if you do not plan on towing your Miata often, or Roadmaster Universal Hy-Power Diode Wiring Kit # RM-154...

- Recommended Components To Flat Tow 2013 GMC Yukon XL 1500I would be happy to recommend everything you will need to flat tow your 2013 GMC Yukon XL 1500 behind your motorhome. Starting with the base plate kit I recommend the Roadmaster Crossbar-Style Base Plate Kit - Removable Arms # 3154-1 which has removeable arms that can be taken off when you are done flat towing to help the kit blend in with the front of your vehicle better. For a compatible tow bar I recommend the Roadmaster Sterling All Terrain, Non-Binding Tow Bar # RM-576 which has...

For a compatible tow bar I recommend the Sterling # RM-576. It is rated for up to 8,000 pounds and comes with safety cables and a wiring connector. For a lighting solution you can use the 4-diode kit # RM-154. I recommend cutting off the 4-way included with this kit...
view full answer... - Parts Needed to Flat Tow a 2014 Jeep Patriot Behind a Motor HomeAccording to the owners manual for the 2014 Jeep Patriot in the recreational towing section, you can only flat tow the vehicle if it has a manual transmission. If it is an automatic it cannot be towed with all 4 wheels on the ground. It can be towed on a tow dolly, such as # RM-2050-1, with the front axle on the dolly. This only works for front wheel drive models and would work with manual or automatics. And of course, the third option is to tow the vehicle on a trailer with all 4 wheels...

The Aventa LX also includes safety cables. To power the lights of the Cobalt use the diode kit # RM-154. According to an online owner's manual for a car you will need to remove...

However, your Curt Rambler Tow Bar # C26FR is compatible with Blue Ox base plates so you can use the # BLU77XR on your Ranger and they will be compatible. This Blue Ox base plate kit has removable arms to keep the front end clear from obstructions and unsightly base plates when you're not flat towing. You may also need new tow bar wiring for your Ranger; for that I recommend using the Roadmaster Hy-Power...

Your vehicle has combined taillights so you would need to just follow the instructions in the attached FAQ that I attached. We do not know the specific wiring codes for your vehicle so the best recommendation I can give you would be to use a circuit tester like our part # PTW2993 to determine what wire carries what.

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.
