Curt Universal Tail Light Wiring Kit Installation - 2017 Ford Focus- Video
Hi there, Focus owners. Today on your 2017 Ford Focus we're gonna be taking a look at and showing you how to install Curt's Diode Wiring Harness. A diode wiring harness will take all the lighting signals from your motor home and give you a connection at the front to transfer those signals back here to the lights at the back of your vehicle.

Roadmaster Diode 7 to 6 Wire Coil Kit Installation - 2017 Ford Focus- Video
Speaker 1: Here on this 2017 Ford Focus, we're going to 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. We're utilizing our factory light bulbs in the vehicle to give ourselves our turn signals, our brake lights, and our tail lights. This way, our vehicle is safe and legal as we're towing it behind our motor home.Now, what's great about these, the dial packs are also going to allow voltage to only travel in one direction. It's going to leave your motor home or your vehicle and go to the light bulb. When you have your motor home hooked up, you don't have to worry about the voltage going back through the vehicle's wiring, causing damage to any expensive electrical components inside the vehicle. We have this seven to six-way included umbilical cable, which is coiled, so it'll stretch as our vehicle goes around turns following our motor home.We don't have to worry about it dragging on the ground this way either, causing damage to it. more

Here's what our diodes look like installed. Now, many of our customers have asked us which wiring is the best option available for them without causing harm to the vehicle, especially on a vehicle that has a separate turn signal bulb in the brake light and tail light.

This will turn our vehicle almost into a trailer where the tail light and brake light and turn signal can all be ran off of one bulb.These diode packs allow us to tap into our vehicle's factory lighting system without having to worry about causing any damage from electrical back feed from the motor home into this components on our vehicle. The diodes prevent the electricity from flowing towards any of the electrical components. more
