Does Flat Towing 2020 Jeep Wrangler Require Using Brake Light Relay
Question:
I bought a Blue Ox Patriot III, Roadmaster Diode 7 wire to 6 wire cable kit RM-15267, plus base plate, tow bar. The lady I talked to said this was all I needed. After looking at your website later, it looks like I may need a brake light relay kit RM-88400. The Jeep is push button and the instructions for the kit are confusing with all the different vehicle options. Do I need this kit and if I do, is there a video showing this install on a push button JL?

Expert Reply:
To determine if you need the Roadmaster Brake Lite Relay part # RM-88400 you'll need to first put your 2020 Jeep Wrangler in ignition position that it needs to be in when towing (check owners manual) and then check to see if the brake lights of the vehicle come on when you hit the brake pedal. If not you do not need the relay but if so you will. I attached an install video for it for you to check out as well.
