2012 Honda Accord - Roadmaster 4-Diode Universal Wiring Kit for Towed Vehicles - 4-Way Flat Connectors
- Diode Kit
- Splices into Vehicle Wiring
- Tail Light Mount
- Universal
- Roadmaster
This wiring kit carries your RV's brake and turn signals to your towed car's tail lights. Diodes prevent damage from electrical feedback. Connects RV and towed car with 4-pole flat plugs. Includes installation hardware.
Features:
- Carries your RV's tail, brake, and turn signals to your towed car
- Prevents feedback that can damage your vehicle's electrical components with diodes
- Includes:
- 4 Hy-Power diodes
- (2) 4-Wire harnesses with 4-pole flat connectors
- Butt connectors, 1 ring terminal, zip ties, and plastic loom
Specs:
- Max amperage: 85 amps
- Max voltage: 24 volts
- Power cord: 6' long
- 4-Wire harness: 30' long
- Plastic loom: 3' long
Notes:
"Don't be intimidated by diodes: if you can strip and crimp wire, this installation will be no problem."
Combined Lighting System vs Separate Lighting System
A combined lighting system, or 2-wire system, uses the same light bulb to signal both braking and turning. (In other words, the car signals a turn by flashing the brake light.)
A separate lighting system, or 3-wire system, has the brake signal and the turn signal light up independently of each other. Typically, the turn signal is amber.
To keep the separate lighting system on your car functioning properly while you're flat towing, add a wiring converter (118158 - sold separately) and 2 additional diodes.
Do I Need a Brake Light Relay?
If the engine is off and your car's brake lights illuminate when you press the brake pedal, you need to install a brake light relay (RM-88400 - sold separately) with this kit. Without a relay, your car's brake signal will override the turn signal sent by the RV when you are slowing down to make a turn, creating a potentially dangerous situation. Other drivers will see that you're slowing down, but not that you're making a turn. With a brake light relay, you can signal both and travel safely.

Simple to install kit that does exactly as listed. Very thorough instruction that were easy to follow.
by: Wes 02/10/2024
It does what it says on the tin. Easily lit up my XJ so I could tow it. Only regret is that by making the connections at the rear, you don’t get the front market lights on the toad. I should have connected the running lights diode in the harness under the dash so all the marker lights come on at night.
by: Larry02/10/2024
I’m always extremely satisfied with Roadmaster products. I had just bought a new truck and planned on towing it so I needed everything to get it ready to tow. This review also applies to to the other items I purchased.
by: Gregory H04/19/2024
First of all Justin B,was awesome so very helpful and knowledgeable went over everything with me and then double checked what was needed before I placed the order for my 2022 maverick to be flat towed, order only took 3days to get to Fl.Kudos to Justin B all the guys putting together the order
and etrailer awesome job,will definitely use them again for any of my needs.

I thought I order the 7 to 6 pin wiring harness for my vehicle as I have the 7/6 cord I used when I pulled my pickup. I also ordered the 6 pin mounting bracket with the 6 pin adapter that wires into the harness. I received the kit which is a flat 4 pin harness.

etrailer is a great company for towing products. They have fast delivery and they have nice installation videos. This order I added 2 more diodes to wire my 2015 Subaru Forester to have separate wiring for break, running, and turn signal lights.
by: Chuck B04/15/2024
Works perfectly and straightforward instructions made it easy to install.

I have order several things from etrailer. Their products are great. Due to nobody's fault but my own I ordered some wrong things. The return was so easy, no questions asked. I would recommend this company to anybody.

Great tow plate , easy to install

Fits and works just as it should.
by: Steve03/13/2022
Installation instructions were great, no issues or questions. I ran the wire thru the frame, and used split wire loom and tape to protect wiring when outside the tube frame.

Product is very well built and is hidden within the bumper/grille. Installation wasn't too difficult, reinstallation of front bumper requires 2 people.
Pleased with end results.
by: Dean 05/17/2023
The install was more challenging than the tow bar itself but we got it done. Be patient with the tail light diodes they are tricky to fit but not impossible. I ended up using some 3m double sided adhesive sticky’s to hold the diodes in place while i pushed the tail light assembly back into position.

- Do The Towed Vehicle's Turns Signals Get Used With the Roadmaster Hy-Power Diode KitThe Roadmaster Universal Hy-Power Diode Wiring Kit part # RM-154 will use the brake light bulb to display both the brake and turn signal circuits. The turn signal bulb will then not be used while the vehicle is in tow but it would still work as normal while driving the vehicle. That said, if you want to use the turn signal bulbs on the vehicle while in tow all you need to do is use the Roadmaster 6-Diode Universal Wiring Kit for Towed Vehicles with Separate Lighting part # 154-792-118158...

An inexperienced installer can expect to take a bit more time. If you're interested in a complete setup, you're going to need: -A set of tow bars like # RM-677, -A braking system # HM39524, & -A wiring kit like # RM-154.

- Parts Needed to Flat Tow a 2002 GMC Yukon XLYes, you can flat tow your 2002 GMC Yukon XL. There are a number of parts you need in order to do this, and they are all available separately instead of in a single kit. Starting with compatible base plates, for your 2002 GMC Yukon XL you need Blue Ox Base Plates # BX1682. For a tow bar I recommend going with the Blue Ox Alpha # BX7380 because of how easy the tow bar is to connect to the base plates as well as its long arms, which make it easier to maneuver when towing; it also comes with...

For a complete flat towing setup, you're also going to need: -A tow bar # RM-676, -A base plate # RM-524431-5, -A Braking System # BLU37TR -12 Volt Outlet Kit # RM-9332, -as well as the Roadmaster Brake-Lite Relay Kit for Towed Vehicles # RM-88400.

To flat tow your 2008 Honda CR-V you'll also need a tow bar, tow bar wiring kit, base plate, braking system, and safety cables. If you don't already have these items then I have the following recommendations for you below: Tow Bar: Roadmaster Falcon...

- What Are Wire Color Functions of Roadmaster Diode Tow Bar Wiring Kit # RM-154Sorry to hear about that! We can confirm that the white wire on the 4-way wiring of the part # RM-154 is the ground circuit. The green is right turn/stop, yellow is left turn/stop, and brown is running light.

The trailer light wiring for the 2006 Honda CR-V is T-One Vehicle Wiring Harness with 4-Pole Flat Trailer Connector part # 118336. This will power the lights on your trailer. You will need separate wiring for all that you have mentioned. If you plan on flat towing the Honda CR-V, you will need tow bar wiring. If you have a 4-way on your motor home you can use Roadmaster part # RM-154 because it will splice into the back of the...

That tow bar is rated for 5,000lbs and the curb weight of the 2016 Yukon is 5,379 to 5,626lbs with nothing loaded into it. Instead I recommend the Roadmaster BlackHawk 2 All Terrain, Non-Binding Tow Bar - Motorhome Mount - 2" Hitch - 10K Item # RM-422.

You'll remove the connectors from your tow bar (pictured below) and install the adapters in their place. The adapters will simply slide into the tabs of the base plate and then you'll just need to slide the locking pins through the base plate tabs and adapters. To flat tow your 2001 Jeep Cherokee you'll also need a tow bar wiring kit, braking system,...

I included install and review videos of all these products as well. So let's get started. The first thing you will need is the Roadmaster Direct-Connect Base Plate Kit - Removable Arms # RM-522203-5.

The Roadmaster XL Base Plate Kit, part # 118-15, would be a good option for base plates for your Tracker.

I've linked a video of the install for you. A bulb and socket kit like # RM-155 would permanently install an extra bulb into each taillight assembly. The installation is permanent, but allows the...

I have phoned Roadmaster and confirmed the compatibility of this kit with your vehicle. According to the 'recreational towing' section of your owner's manual, 2WD and 4x4 vehicles equipped with an electronic transfer case cannot be flat towed as-is. 4x4 vehicles with a MANUAL transfer case can be flat towed without modification.

Diodes were not the ones I needed even though the etrailer site said they were. I had to purchase the correct ones from the auto electric shop where I had the wiring done.
