Roadmaster Diode 7 to 6 Wire Coil Kit Installation - 2018 Chevrolet Colorado- Video
Speaker 1: Today on this 2018 Chevrolet Colorado, we'll be having a look at and showing you how to install the Roadmaster Diode Seven Wire to Six Wire Flexo Coil Wiring Kit, part number RM-15267.Here's what our diodes look like installed. Now, the reason you're going to want this wiring harness and diode kit for your vehicle is because when you're flat towing, you need to have a lighting system to stay legal. By utilizing diodes, we can use the factory bulbs in our taillight assembly and not have to worry about using magnetic tow lights on our vehicle, which can scratch the paint. We simply make a connection between the motor home and our Colorado, and we'll have our factor lights working for our taillights, our turn signals, and our brake lights.These diodes are great because not only do they utilize the factory bulbs that we already have, but the also prevent the flow of electricity from the motor home back into the expensive components of the Colorado, so we don't need to worry about any electrical back feed causing any damage to the vehicle's wiring or computer systems. Now, what's great about this kit is that we get a six way connector on the front of the vehicle with a nice spring loaded dust cover to keep the elements out.Now, for this particular flat tow setup, we use the Roadmaster EZ4 Base Plate, a Roadmaster Automatic Battery Disconnect, the Roadmaster Seven to Six Wire Diode Flexo Coil Wiring Kit for our lighting system. For our braking system, we use an SMI Stay and Play Duo, and for our tow bar we use a Roadmaster Falcon Two Tow Bar. more
