Hi there, Cherokee owners. Today on our 2018 Jeep Cherokee, we're going to be taking a look at and showing you how to install the Hopkins Plug and Play Diode Wiring Harness. This Diode wiring harness is going to take all of the lighting signals from your motor home and transfer them back to the lights here on the back of your vehicle. The diode wiring makes sure that those signals that are coming back to your lights only illuminate the lights and do not back feed into your vehicle, which protects it from any damage that could potentially occur.What I really like about this harness versus other kits out there that has diodes that you can install to get the same effect is this kit is custom designed for your Cherokee, so it's nice and plug and play. You remove your taillight assemblies, you plug them in, you just route the wire up to the front and you're ready to go. A lot of those other ones, you have to cut the wiring in your vehicle, which could potentially void warranties depending on the age of your vehicle.

Speaker 1: Today on our 2018 Jeep Cherokee, we're gonna take a look at and show you how to install the Roadmaster 7-wire to 6-wire Flexo-Coil Diode Wiring Kit for towed vehicles. Part number is RM-15267.Now this wiring kit's gonna be the perfect solution for towing your vehicle behind your motor home, and having the appropriate signals on the back. We've got our Flexo-Coil here, passes those signals through so whether we're hitting the brakes in our Coach, we have on our running lights or our turn signals, that's gonna show up on the back of the vehicle. The Flexo-Coil design will expand and contract as you can see, so we won't have to worry about it hanging down on the ground, but as we make our initial pull away from our vehicle when it's connected, it's gonna extend to the exact length that we need.Now the benefit of a wiring system that has diodes included will be that those are gonna isolate our RV from our vehicle so we won't have any type of back feeding. We can take a closer look at them now.So now what we've been able to do using our diode is take the signal from our RV, it comes in here, and the factory signal from our vehicle. That is then going to be converted to a single output, so whether the signal comes from the RV, it's allowed to pass directly through and go out and light our bulb.

It activates our left turn on both the RV and on our vehicle. The same happens with our right turn, our break lamps, and our tail lamps.Along with this diode kit, it's gonna come with a six pole connector and a cable that goes from six pole to seven pole so you can hook it to your RV. This is great not only for the diode kit and getting your signaling devices, but it acts as an interface that will connect your RV to your vehicle or other systems, such as a breaking system or any other signaling you may want to provide your vehicle.This diode and wiring kit connects to the tail lamp circuits here at the back of your vehicle.
