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

By using these diodes here, we don't have to worry about the vehicle having a separate turn signal than the brake 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

Best 2018 Ford Focus Tow Bar Wiring Options- Video
Speaker 1: Today, we're going to be taking a look at the best tow bar wiring options for your 2018 Ford Focus.Whenever we're flat-towing our Focus, it's very important that the light functions on our motor home transfer over to our Focus, so everybody knows what's going on, whether we're slowing down and the brake lights come on, or if we turn our turn signal on to change lanes. There's going to be three basic types of lighting options that we're going to have available for our focus, so we'll take a closer look at those and go over some of the features.So the first style we're going to have is the diode style. Then the bulb and socket, and then finally, the removable lights. Now, the removable lights, there are a lot of different options available, and these are the tried-and-true versions that you may have seen a lot either on vehicles or on trailers. The basic way that these are going to work, is these lights typically have magnets on them. We'll mount them to the back of our vehicle, and then we'll have the length of wire that will run along the car and match up to our motor home.The big benefits of these is; is that it is going to be an external thing, and it's not going to be a permanent installation. more

Speaker 1: Toady on our 2014 Ford Focus we're gonna be taking 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. This is gonna allow our Focus to accept the signals from our motor home for our brakes, turn signals, and taillights. It's gonna give us a six pin round connector on the front and it's gonna come with a six to a seven cord to connect to the front of our vehicle and the back of our motor home.Now the big benefit of having the diode kit in our vehicle is it's gonna alleviate the need for the big magnetic lights you see going down the road and running the wire along the edge of our car and potentially scratching it up as we drive down the road. Instead we're gonna be tapping into our factor lighting system and there's gonna be some diodes so it is gonna protect our vehicle against anything that may go wrong on the motor home end.Now since it is gonna be using our factory system I do want to mention that since our Focus has a separate turn signal from the brake the way we're gonna be wiring it up is the brake is actually gonna become our turn signal when we're flat towing it with our motor home. When we're driving it normally all of our lights are gonna function properly and we're not gonna have to worry about anything else.Now that we've see what our wiring looks like and kind of gone over some of the features let's show you how to get it installed. Now for our wiring I'm gonna start up top and since we have our fascia and headlight removed it's gonna make it a lot easier to get to the front of the vehicle. more
