Roadmaster 6-Diode Universal Wiring Kit for Towed Vehicles with Separate Lighting - Kia Sorento, 2011

Connect your towed car's lighting system to your RV's to get the brake lights and turn signals required for towing. Designed for use with Kia Sorentos that have separate brake and turn signals. 4-Pole flat loop and wiring converter included.

Features:

Connects your RV's tail, brake and turn signal lights to your towed Kia Sorento's lighting system
- Designed for use on towed Kia Sorentos that have a 3-wire system (separate brake and turn signals)
Prevents electrical feedback and the damage it can cause to your towed car's electrical components
Includes tail light converter to adapt your RV's 2-wire system (combined brake and turn signals) to work with the towed car's 3-wire system
Contains everything you need to wire your car for flat towing
- 6 Hy-Power diodes
- 30' Long strand of 4-wire electrical cord
- 6' Long cord with 4-way flat connectors - both Kia Sorento and RV ends
- Ring terminal and wire connectors
- 3' Long split-wire loom

Specs:

Max amperage: 85 amps
Max voltage: 24 V

Note: If your RV has separate brake and turn signal lights, you do not need to install the included tail light converter. However, you will need to replace the 4-way Kia Sorento-side connector with one that is capable of carrying the separate signals.

The diagram below shows the installation of the 6-diode tail light wiring kit on a towed Kia Sorento (or dinghy) that has separate turn signals (typically amber) and red brake lights. This kit will most often be used with a motor home that operates off of a 2-wire system wherein the brake lights do the flashing for the turn signals. The included tail light converter (118158) is used to convert the combined brake and turn signal lights to separate ones to match those of your towed Kia Sorento.

This harness was an excellent choice. It took about an hour and fifteen minutes to install. Everything is spelled out for you in the instructions and if all else fails, watch the online video. The hardest thing was removing the tail light on the Sportage. I has a ball joint connection that forces you to pull harder than you think you should. I was afraid I would break the light. But it popped out and the rest was easy. Very complete and works great! The connections fit like factory. Very Pleased.42472

The diodes and wiring are good and worked well. But the 118158 converter produced a 3.5 volt drop such that the brake lights were as dim as the tail lights. And when a turn signal was triggered the brake lights dimmed even further. I ended up stringing a separate brake wire through the car and re-wiring my truck with a 5-wire connector.68855

Installation of Roadmaster 6-Diode Universal Tow Bar Wiring Kit on 2005 Jeep Liberty
Since there is not much in the way of available space behind the tail light assemblies of your Liberty, you should have room for the diodes in the cavity below the tail light assemblies. There is not much room between the bumper cover and the vehicle body, but there should be enough room to push the diodes down into that cavity. If you look at the photo I edited for you, you will be able to see the area I am talking about. If you should find that there is NOT enough room to fit the diodes

Wiring 2012 Cadillac SRX so that Third Brake Light Operates While Flat Towing
Although it is not required by law, you can indeed tie in the third brake lamp so that it operates when your SRX is connected to the motorhome. You will need an additional diode, part # RM-790 to prevent backfeed into the SRX. The diode would be wired as shown in the diagram I have produced for you. I have looked online and have not been able to find any information regarding the location of the wiring harness that feeds the third brake light. Your best bet would be to check behind the trim p

It sounds like you have a good grasp on the installation of the Roadmaster 6-Diode Universal Wiring Kit, # 154-792-118158, and you have already gone through a few troubleshooting steps, so I would recommend troubleshooting the converter box from the # 118158 wiring harness.

To troubleshoot the converter box of this wiring harness, I would first recommend using
