Roadmaster Universal Diode Wiring Kit Installation - 2020 GMC Canyon

Shane: Hey guys, Shane here with etrailer.com. Today we have a 2020 GMC Canyon Pickup Truck and I'm going to walk you through how to install a Roadmaster's Diode Wiring Kit. It's going to be one of the seven main components to flat tow the vehicle, the other six are going to be your braking system, the base plate, your tow bar, the battery disconnect, a brake light switch or a stoplight switch, your safety cables. There's going to be one component that I'm going to recommend and that's the battery charge line. That wiring kit is designed to allow you to transfer light signals from your motor home or RV back to the factory taillights in your vehicle so that everybody knows what you're doing, whether that's turning, braking or driving at night.Diodes are going to mount to factory wiring behind each taillight and they're going to protect the factory wiring from any back feed. What's nice about this is, once you have them installed, you don't have to do anything else. more

Roadmaster Tow Bar Wiring Kit Installation - 2019 GMC Canyon- Video

Roadmaster Tow Bar Wiring Kit Installation - 2019 GMC Canyon

Rob: Rob here at etrailer.com and today you're going to be taking a look at the Roadmaster Hy-Power Diode wiring kit on our 2019 GMC Canyon. Now our diode kit is going to allow us to take the signals from our motor homes tail lights, transfer them into our Canyon so whenever we're towing it everybody knows whether we're changing lanes, stopping, and can see all the signals at the back.Keep in mind that our wiring is only going to be one component of a full flat tow setup. You will need a baseplate and that's going to mount directly onto the frame of your Canyon so we have a solid connecting point for our tow bar. Our tow bar is going to be our second item and that's going to connect to the baseplate so that we can hook it up to the motor home, as well.Then we'll have our safety cables and it's going to be secondary safety device in case anything we're to happen to the tow bar become disconnected. This is going to prevent our Canyon from continuing down the road.We'll have a braking system and that's going to apply the brakes to the Canyon itself so we won't have to rely on the motor home to slow it down since we're adding so much weight.And, finally, one last item I would highly recommend is the Roadmaster Automatic Battery Disconnect, because in order to flat to our Canyon we do have to disconnect the battery to put it in a tow mode and the Automatic Battery Disconnect is just going to make it a lot easier and a lot more convenient without having to open the hood and get tools out.Our diodes are going to serve two major functions. They're going to take the signal from our motor home as well as the signal from our truck and allow them to go into one, single housing. more

Roadmaster Diode 7 to 6 Wire Coil Kit Installation - 2016 GMC Canyon- Video

Roadmaster Diode 7 to 6 Wire Coil Kit Installation - 2016 GMC Canyon

Today on our 2016 GMC Canyon, we're gonna be installing Roadmaster's Diode Wiring Kit. This diode wiring kit is gonna take your turn, stop, and tail lamp signals from your motor home and allow them to be transmitted back here to the taillights on your vehicle, so you can be DOT compliant in all states when flat-towing your vehicle behind your motor home.This is gonna directly send the signals from your motor home's seven-pole connector back to the taillights on your vehicle. The diodes that are installed on the taillight ensure that the electrical signal can only go to your bulbs, and not back to any electrical component inside the vehicle. The diodes act as a one-way check valve for the electrical current, ensuring that that doesn't happen.Connect our electrical connection, and our breakaway switch. Now all that's left is to place our vehicle into tow mode and hit the road.For your complete flat-tow setup on your 2016 GMC Canyon, we'll be using SMI Stay-IN-Play DUO Supplemental Braking System; Roadmaster's Direct Connect Base Plate Kit; Roadmaster's Diode Wiring Kit; Roadmaster's Automatic Battery Disconnect; Roadmaster's Stop Light Switch Kit; Roadmaster's Falcon All-Terrain Non-Binding Tow Bars; Roadmaster's 64 Inch Single Hook Safety Cables; and you may or may not need a high-low adapter.We'll begin our installation here at the front by mounting our electrical connector bracket. Now the fascia is off. more
