Best 2016 Ram 1500 Tow Bar Wiring Harness Options- Video
Speaker 1: Today we're going to be taking a look at the best tow bar wiring options for your 2016 Ram 1500. If you are flat towing your Ram, you will need some kind of tow bar wiring because we want to be able to accept the light signals from our motor home and transfer them to our Ram pickup. That way when we're going down the road, everybody knows what's going on. If we hit our brakes, put our turn signal on, or if it's dark out, we have our taillights on.Now when it comes to the wiring itself, we're going to have three basic types. We're going to have a bulb and socket kit, a diode kit, and the removable magnetic lights. Now each one of them is going to have its own benefit, so let's take a closer look.Our bulb and socket kit is going to completely bypass our vehicle's wiring because we're going to be adding a new separate bulb to our taillight housing. more

Roadmaster Universal Diode Wiring Kit Installation - 2016 Ram 1500- Video
Speaker 1: Today on our 2016 Ram 1500, we're going to be taking a look at and showing you how to install the Roadmaster Universal High-Power Diode Wiring Kit, part number RM-152.To help us in our installation, we're also going to be using the Roadmaster Four-Wire Connector for the vehicle end, part number RM-910030-1.If you're flat towing your Ram, you're going to need wiring so when you're going down the road, everyone knows whether you're coming to a stop, making a turn, or if it's at night, you can have the taillights on on the back of your car. Now, our diodes are going to allow us to accept the signals from our RV, like the brakes, turn signals, and our taillight signals, and transfer them to our Ram so we can get down the road safely.We're not going to have to worry about mounting exterior lights or running any wires because our diodes are going to hook up directly into our factory lighting system and use our factory lights to illuminate everything. It's also going to protect our vehicle's wiring from any kind of backfeeding that may happen on the motor home end.When we're not flat towing our Ram, our lights on our truck are going to work exactly like normal. We're not going to have to worry about any extra steps of unhooking something or turning something off or on. It's going to be a simple, one-time installation.Keep in mind this is only one component of our flat tow setup. Along with the wiring, we're going to need a base plate, a tow bar, and a braking system.Now that we've talked about how our diodes are going to work, let's show you how to get them installed. more
