Roadmaster Automatic Battery Disconnect Installation - 2013 Smart fortwo- Video
Speaker 1: Today on our 2013 smart fortwo we're gonna be taking a look at, and showing you how to install, the Roadmaster Automatic Battery Disconnect, part number RM-766.Now, if you've ever towed a vehicle behind a motor home, then in some cases you had to disconnect the battery. Now, saving us the hustle and inconvenience from having to locate our battery and pull our cables off, we have the Roadmaster Automatic Battery Disconnect, and this is gonna allow us to tow our vehicle behind our RV without having to pull that cable. Now, this kit is for vehicles only that require that battery cable removal when being flat towed, and you can find that information in your owner's manual.Now the way it's gonna operate is, it's gonna be a switch operated system, and the switch is gonna connect to our solenoid, and the solenoid is gonna be connected to the battery. Now, the solenoid is pre-assembled for easy installation, and this kit's gonna work with most 12 volt systems.Now to show you how it works; as you can see, we have a key in the on position, and as you can see it's not doing anything, because that's because our vehicle is in tow mode right now. Now, if we come back to the switch and we put it in the drive mode, we can see that our accessories are gonna come on, and we can start our vehicle. And then whenever we're getting ready to tow our vehicle, we can turn it off, and if you watch the instrument cluster over here, as soon as I put it into tow mode it disconnects all power to the vehicle.Now, in our smart car the entire installation is gonna take place right here, on the passenger side. more
