2018 Nissan Frontier - 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 Nissan Frontier'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:

  • A brake light relay (RM-88400 - sold separately) may be required if used with a flat tow brake system. (See below.)
  • A wiring converter (118158 - sold separately) and 2 additional diodes will be needed to retain separate turn and brake signals. (See below.)


  • review for diode kit

    "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

    Combined vs Seperate 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:

    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:

    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:

    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.

    2015 Subaru Forester

    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.

    This system worked perfectly from experience. They help from trailers e trailer agents was crucial for guiding me through the process.

    I’ve used several of these and they always work great.
    etrailer videos are a great help!



    by:

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



    by:

    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.



    by:

    Items arrived right on schedule and in good order. I ordered three items in the last few weeks. Their CHAT agents were extremely helpful in answering all my questions about compatibility with my vehicle.

    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.

    @Kenneth Honestly, I am surprised that the diodes did not work for you. I am curious as to if the installer explained why they would not work for you. What the reason was?


    by:

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

    Great tow plate , easy to install

    2019 Chevrolet Blazer

    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:

    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.

    • Flat Towing Recommendations For A 2016 GMC Sierra 2500
      There's a variety of reasons depending on the vehicle but one of the main reasons I've seen across most vehicles is that it could effect the steering wheel lock and you could end up dragging the tires instead of them turning with the RV. I HIGHLY recommend following everything it says in your owner's manual to ensure the safety of you and your vehicle while flat towing. The battery being disconnected will cause it to drain if you hook up the brake controller to it so I recommend the Brake...

    • Can A Brake Light Relay Kit And Stop Light Switch Kit Both Be Installed In A 2022 Jeep Cherokee
      I get your line of thinking but there's a much simpler solution to your issue. The brake light relay # RM-88400 and stop light switch kit # RM-751471 can not be used together. Since you're having brake light indicator issues you will only want to install the stop light switch kit instead. The electrical systems of your Cherokee will turn off after running for 20 minutes so both Roadmaster and us here at etrailer do not recommend installing a brake light relay to fix the turn signal overriding...

      You can use Curt wiring harness # C55504 which plugs in line with the tail light wiring on your 2004 Dodge Ram 3500. This will bypass the tow package wiring and provide light functions only at its 4-Way connector which you could either keep or cut off to wire the remaining wires to the back of a 7-Way connector if that is what you have. On this Curt harness the white wire is ground, brown is running lights, yellow is left turn/brake lights, and green is right turn/brake lights.

    • Recommended Heavy Duty Tow Bar for 2017 Ram 1500
      The highest capacity tow bar setup we offer for a 2017 Ram 1500 would be the etrailer XHD Non-Binding Tow Bar part # e94ZR rated at 10,500 lbs. It will require the etrailer Classic Base Plate Kit part # e98945. The only other things you'll need to complete this setup is lighting and a braking system. I recommend the Blue Ox Patriot Portable Braking System part # BLU37TR (Requires 12 Volt Outlet Kit part # RM-9332) and Roadmaster Universal Hy-Power Diode Wiring Kit part # RM-154.

You would need to install a factory u-channel bumper on your Jeep to attach a base plate kit.

      To flat tow your 2016 GMC Canyon you're going to need a tow bar, base plates, wiring for the lights, a supplemental braking system for the truck's brakes, and possibly a high-low adapter. I suggest the Blue Ox # BX1721 for a base plate kit. This will fit your 4-wheel drive model with or without the adaptive cruise control. To connect to the RV I like the Avail # BX7420 for a tow bar because of the higher weight capacity. It also includes safety cables. To power the lights of your Canyon...

      For a truck like your 2013 Chevy Silverado 1500 4x4 I would flat tow it rather than dolly tow if because trucks can be heavy and harder to fit on a tow dolly than a sedan. Plus the overall cost for a decent tow dolly is as much as or more than a flat towing set up. For the flat towing procedures look at section 10-90 of the vehicle owner's manual. To flat tow the truck you will need base plates, a tow bar, safety cables, lighting, and supplemental braking. For base plates you can use Demco...

My recommendation is the etrailer Invisible Base Plate Kit - Removable Arms, part # e98955. The nice thing about this base plate is it remains hidden when your vehicle is not being towed. The next piece you need is a tow bar. I am a fan of the Roadmaster BlackHawk 2 All Terrain, Non-Binding Tow Bar - Motorhome Mount - 2" Hitch - 10K, part # RM-422.
