Roadmaster Universal Diode Wiring Kit Installation - 2016 Kia Soul

Hi. John with etrailer. If you're ready to take your Kia out on the road with you flat towing and you want a clean way to get your lighting signals to the back, then check out Roadmaster Diode Wiring Kit that we installed on a 2016 Kia Soul. Now, why do you need a diode wiring kit Well, the simple fact is that if you're towing like the Kia going down the road, you wanna signal your intentions from the rear of your RV to the rear of the Kia whether you're making a left-hand turn or you're hitting the brakes, or even if you're just running down the highway at night, and just the tail lights are on, it's gonna make for a safer journey. Now the Diode Wiring Kit is gonna be mounted permanently on your Kia. It's gonna transmit all of those signals through the power cord. more

This bulb and socket kit is going to allow us to transfer those lighting signals from our RV, back to our vehicle without tapping into the vehicle's wiring in any way whatsoever. We activate the left turn signal in our RV, it operates on both the RV and our vehicle. And here we have our brake lights, our running lights, left turn, and right turn.We'll begin our installation at the rear of the vehicle by removing both our driver and passenger side taillights.You'll find four Phillips head screws located down the inside edge of your tail lamp. Just go ahead and remove those screws. A plastic trim panel remover tool will make it easier when we're moving your taillight, when you're pulling rearward. more

Roadmaster Universal Diode Wiring Kit Installation - 2015 Kia Soul

Speaker 1: Today on our 2015 Kia Soul we're gonna be taking a look at and showing you how to install the Roadmaster Universal high powered diode wiring kit, part number RM-152. Now to help us with our install we're gonna be using the Roadmaster seven wire to six wire Flexo-Coil Kit, part number RM-146-7.Here's what our wiring looks like installed, it is gonna include an umbilical cord to connect our RV to our vehicle and the wiring is gonna allow us to use our factory lights and accept the signals from our RV so that people can know whether we're going down the road with our taillights on, brake lights, and our turn signals. This is gonna take away the need for the magnetic lights you see a lot on towed vehicles and it's gonna use our factory lights and it's gonna have some diodes that are gonna tap into our factory wiring preventing any kind of feedback coming from our RV and damaging our factory wiring.Now that we know how our wiring is gonna work let's show you how to get it installed. With our baseplate torqued down and everything in place now would be a good time if you are doing wiring to go ahead and at least bring your wires while the fascia's off, making it a little bit easier to get where we need to go. I'm just gonna take my wiring, I'm actually just gonna loop it around these posts right here, just leave it right there with a little loop so I have plenty to work with. I'm gonna start routing it towards the engine and once we get it up passed everything I'm just gonna come up behind my headlight here and I'm gonna leave it up in the engine bay for now.With our fascia back on I'm gonna slightly pull my wire out just a little bit. more
