So we got the left turn signal going on our motor home and it's transferring it back here to our Equinox. And that'll hold true for the right turn, our taillights, and our brake lights, so we'll have all of our bases covered there. I wanna mention with this kit, it's designed to work for the Equinoxes that have the LED type taillights. Not all of them will have LEDs. more

Roadmaster Smart Diode Wiring Kit Installation - 2020 Chevrolet Spark- Video
Hello neighbors, it's Brad here at etrailer and today we're taking a look and installing the Roadmaster Smart Diode Kit for towed vehicles on a 2020 Chevrolet Spark. Now your diode wiring is simply going to run from a 6-pole in the front of the vehicle back to the taillights where we tie into the factory wiring. And what that means is we can simply just plug in our umbilical and it's gonna receive those light sequences from the RV. So if you plan on flat towing your vehicle more than a few times a year, this is a nice easy way to do it. And also having a 6-pole up front means that you can tie in other accessories like a charge line with a 12 volt power supply. So it does have some benefits. more

Roadmaster Universal Diode Wiring Kit Installation - 2022 Jeep Wagoneer- Video
Hey guys, it's Jake here with etrailer. Today I'm gonna show you how to install and we're gonna go over a few details on the Roadmaster diode wiring kit on our 2022 Jeep Wagoneer.

Review of Blue Ox Tow Bar Wiring - Bypasses Vehicle Wiring - BX88272- Video
Hello everybody, this is Jeff at etrailer.com. Today we're gonna take a look at this Blue Ox 13 inch long ATM Mini-Fuse ByPass Switch for tow vehicles. Now, some automobiles can only be towed if you get under the hood and pull the fuse, and if you don't remove the fuse before towing, there's a good chance that your car's battery will be drained by the time you reach your destination. So you can use this fuse-disconnect system here to prep your vehicle to be towed. This part here will bypass your towed car's fuse, so that you can tow your vehicle without draining its battery. This provides a nice, simple alternative to removing the mini-fuse every time you tow, and it'll also store your fuse right in here, so that you don't lose it. more
