Tow Ready Tail Light Isolating Diode System Installation - 2015 Jeep Grand Cherokee- Video
Hello neighbors, it's Brad here at etrailer and today we're taking a look at installing the Tow Ready diode wiring for a 2015 Jeep Grand Cherokee. Now your base plate is gonna be one of five main components required for flat towing your vehicle, and the base plate creates a structural support that mounts to the frame of the vehicle allowing you to hook up to your towbar. And your towbar is the connection point between the towed vehicle and the RV. Now there's also gonna be your safety cables, which are gonna attach to that base plate and they're integrated into it, and that's also going to attach to the hitch on the RV. So in case we do have a disconnect, we still have those cables holding everything together. Now you're also gonna need a braking system which is gonna allow you to slow and stop, have that towed vehicle do the same thing as you apply those brakes on the RV. more

Hopkins Custom Tail Light Wiring Kit Installation - 2018 Ford Edge- Video
Hello, neighbors, it's Brad here at Etrailer. And today, we're taking a look at installing the Hopkins plug-in diode wiring on a 2018 Ford Edge. Normally, when it comes to diode wiring, you are having to cut into the wires of the brake lights and tie in those diodes using spade connectors, and Hopkins kind of made this easy for us because it's simply plug-in. So it's kind of like hooking up trailer wiring, it just snaps into factory-like connections, you run your wiring up to the front and you can tie that in using either the included four-pole that's attached or we used a six-pole on ours. And diode wiring is gonna send the light signal from the RV through the umbilical to the taillights on the vehicle and that way, you can get your turn signals, your brake lights, as well as your running lights. And that's just gonna keep you safe and legal while flat towing your vehicle. more

Now I have the hazards on my RV, and you can see it's mimicking on the tail lights of our vehicle. And if you've ever seen a flat towed vehicle before, sometimes you may notice they have those magnetic lights that are on here, and that means you're draping a wire all the way up to the front. Now they have wireless options as well, but that's one more component that you have to tag along with all of the rest of your equipment, where diode wiring really makes it easy to just plug into the front, you're also gonna get some 12 volt power supply generally from a 6-pole, so it's really nice to be able to just plug in and have these ready to go. And what it's gonna do is just run from the 7-pole on your RV, through the 6-pole, and you're gonna have wire running back to your tail lights where you tie into diodes, and that way you can mimic your running lights, your brake lights, as well as your turn signals, and that's gonna keep you safe and legal and let the people behind you know what you're indicating to do. Now it's pretty easy, you are gonna be pulling your tail light out and then tying in to that factory wiring, and it's just a couple spade connectors that you'll be attaching, and really the hardest part is running your wire all the way up to the front of the vehicle. more

Hopkins Custom Tail Light Wiring Kit Installation - 2016 Ford F-150- Video
Brad here at etrailer, and today we're taking a look at installing the Hopkins Plug and Play Towed Vehicle Wiring Kit on a 2016 Ford F-150. Now, diode wiring is a really nice thing to have if you plan on flat towing quite often, and that's because a lot of other vehicles that you see flat towed, you're gonna see some magnetic lights that are stuck here, and a lot of times you can get wireless ones, but sometimes you have to run a cable all the way to the RV, and diode wiring is just nice, because when you plug in your umbilical, not only can you send 12 volt power through there to a charge line if you want to, but also you're gonna mimic all the turn signals, running lights, and brake lights on the towed vehicle. Now this kit is particularly nice, because this is plug and play. Now most diode wiring that I've seen throughout all the flat tow installations, you're chopping into the factory taillight wiring and splicing in spade connectors on a diode, not this one. This one plugs into the tow package on this F-150, making it super easy to just run your wire up to the front, and you're pretty much ready to go. Obviously, the best part, or the reason you would install diode wiring is because your vehicle pretty much becomes a trailer when you're flat towing it. more

Hi there, Jeep owners. Today on your 1989 Jeep Wrangler YJ, we're gonna be taking a look at and showing you how to install Roadmaster's Diode Wiring Kit. And the main reason for installing diodes here at the back, it'll allow all your motor home signals to come from your motor home's seven-way connector and illuminate this light. But if you we're to just wire it up without diodes, it would not only illuminate the light, but it would also backfeed on your circuitry and potentially damage components on the vehicle. The diodes act is a one-way check file for electricity that will let it go from our motor home to our light, but it will not let it go back down our factory wiring and effect anything on our vehicle. We've got the hazard lights on in our motor home. more

Roadmaster Tow Bar Wiring Kit Installation - 2011 Jeep Patriot- Video
Hi there, Jeep owners, today in your 2011 Jeep Patriot, we're gonna be taking a look at and showing you how to install Roadmaster's diode wiring kit. All the components are gonna be hidden behind your taillight assembly, so you're really not gonna notice any modifications to the vehicle. They tap directly into the factory lighting circuits and they act as a one-way check valve that only lets current flow one direction to the bulbs, but it can't back feed. And this allows us to add the additional wiring for our motor home so that when we plug into our motor home, we can send all the lighting signals from our motor home to the same factory lights here on our vehicle, so that way, these will also illuminate, letting people know our intentions when we're going down the road. And when those signals come up the wires from our motor home, it'll light the bulb, but the diode prevents it from going back down the factory wiring, causing any damage to the vehicle. This is my personal favorite way to get lighting set up on your flat tow set up 'cause some of the other options, well, for example, like the Blue Ox or the Demco diodes, their diodes just don't seem to be as robust as the Roadmaster ones, these ones have a very large heat sink on them to dissipate heat and they just seem to work very well. more
