Tail Light Converter Between Class C With Combined Lights And A 2006 Mazda MX5 With Separate Lights
Question:
I need a tail/break light converter between my 1997 Class C and my towed 2006 Mazda MX-5. From what I can see, the RoadMaster Brite-Lite, part # RM-732, converts a combined into a separate. I think my needs are the opposite my Class C is combined, the MX-5 is separate. Do you have a product that fits this category? Thank you

Sounds like you are on the right track here Ronald and we do have a product that fits this category. What you will need is the Curt 2 to 3 Wire Tail Light Converter # C56196. This converter will let you connect your 2006 Mazda MX5 with separate or 3-wire system and allow it to receive signals from the combined or 2-wire system on your Class C.
We do recommend installing diodes with this converter in order to prevent any back feeding. You will need to install diodes # RM-690 between the trailer tail lights and converter. The "out" side goes to the tail light and the "in" side goes to the converter. There will need to be one diode on each circuit for a total of six.
