You probably could rig your damaged wiring harness in the way you describe, using diodes to keep the circuits separated, but I suggest just replacing the harness with a 4-pole set-up like # C59496. This is a hardwired harness with a substantial…

You can use an isolating diode kit like #48955 to prevent tail light back-feeding in your flat towing set-up. Each stop and turn circuit (4 in total) will need a diode to allow signals to travel in only one direction, without back-feeding to the RV.
