Roadmaster Flat Tow Brake System - RM-751449

  • Stop Light Switch
  • Roadmaster

Avoid damage to your vehicle by ensuring that your supplemental braking system is properly positioned and working effectively. Kit activates your RV monitoring system to alert you when the brakes of your towed car are being applied.


Features:

  • Activates motorhome brake-monitoring system whenever brake pedal in towed car is applied
    • Ensures that the supplemental braking system is functioning properly
  • Works great for any application that does not have a tow position in the ignition
  • Wires directly into towed car's fuse box for constant current
  • Made in the USA
  • Limited Lifetime Warranty


Specs:

  • Application: custom fit for your vehicle
  • 12 Volts


This kit allows your RV's monitoring system to alert you whenever the brake pedal of your towed car is being applied. Other systems operate according to whether the air cylinder is extended and provide no indication of what is happening with the pedal itself. If your supplemental braking system is improperly installed, it may be continuously pressing on the pedal, impeding it from fully retracting and possibly causing damage to your vehicle's tires and braking system. With Roadmaster's Stop Light Switch Kit, you will always know when the brake is being depressed, and you will avoid costly damage.

Every thing needed was included. You need to be a bit of a contortionist but if this 75 year old can install it you can.

Works as it should, a little difficult to install (physically), but had to have it for my application, well made and quality parts.

Really good.thank you!!

Upon the recommendation of one of your towing specialists, I ordered every component that I needed to flat tow my 2014 Jeep Grand Cherokee behind my 2013 Newmar Bay Star motorhome. I got the necessary Roadmaster tow bar and other accessories plus the SMI Stay-IN-Play braking system. I have towed over 5000 miles so far without any significant issues. Hook up is straight-forward and takes about 15 minutes to complete. I couldn't be happier with the towing experience!



by:

Used it for the brake activation light in my towed vehicle. Easily adjustable as far as depth . Positioning took a little work but the bracket is specific to a vehicle other than mine.



by:

Instructions in the kit and video on the website were very complete and made for a very easy installation. Suggestion to Roadmaster on the bracket....make some sort of positive location tab for the bracket because the location is only made secure by the tightening of the bolt. Also, the way the Jeep bracket that you bolt to is designed, there's no way to get a wrench or socket to hold the backside bolt head. Maybe come up with something to keep it from spinning.



by:

All of the etrailer.com products I have purchased were perfect. The shipping was right on time. I have told several of my friends and acquaintances about etrailer.com.



by:

Bracket came with one undersized bolt and nut. The bracket it attached to had two holes. If the bracket was longer and had another bolt it would be more stable.

I recommend looking at the video installation that we have on a 2015 Jeep Grand Cherokee starting at mark 2:18. You can see the bracket location and that it uses a five sixteenth by three quarter inch bolt.



by:

Unit worked well, fit nicely. Was awkward for me to install because of location under dash, but bracket was designed well fit right up.



by:

Working like a champ! Install was a breeze with etrailer. Can't believe that I was on the road without a TOAD brake.

Exact items needed for 2007 Jeep Grand Cherokee installation of alternative braking system.



by:

Great product. Works great. Installation was a little tricky for my Jeep Grand Cherokee but we figured it out.



by:

Instructions were clear making the installation relatively easy. Parts fit like they were supposed to.



by:

Nice switch, used this as an add on switch for brake controller for 2018 Jeep Compass

A necessity for the towing application. It works perfectly.

Everything Installed and worked well. Towed my Grand Cherokee Back from California with no problems.

  • What Powers The Diodes In A Diode Wiring Kit
    The diode wiring isn't going to be wired in series so you won't have to worry about the voltage increasing. It will only be powered by the 7-way of your motorhome when the brakes or the turn signals are activated on the motorhome. I've attached a video below where Ryan will walk you through the installation of your diode wiring. Since your 2022 Jeep Grand Cherokee has combined wiring and an unusable brake light switch wire you'll need the Roadmaster Stop Light Switch Kit # RM-751449 (WK...

  • Recommended Flat Tow Wiring Kit For A 2019 Jeep Grand Cherokee
    The 2019 Jeep Grand Cherokee is not compatible with bulb and socket kits from Roadmaster like the # RM-152-LED that you referenced. Bulb and socket kits will actually cause much more harm since you'd have to drill into the tail light housing and run the risk of damaging the light and will typically also face issues with water leaking into the taillight through the hole the bulb and socket kit uses. You'd be much better off just using a splice in kit like the Roadmaster Diode 7-Wire to...

    Thanks for reaching out, and I'd be happy to help out! You chose some great products to use for flat towing your 2017 Jeep Grand Cherokee and I really only have 2 changes; the tow bar you selected has an umbilical so you only need part of the wiring kit, and you will need a stop light switch as well.

  • Is The Blue Ox Alpha Tow Bar Capable Of Towing A 2018 Jeep Grand Cherokee
    The curb weight of a 2018 Jeep Grand Cherokee is up to to 5,363lbs, not including anything you're hauling inside of the vehicle. The Blue OX BX7365 has a 6,500lb weight capacity so you would most likely be more than fine using it and would be able to carry a bit of extra weight. That being said you should also verify the capacity of the motorhome's trailer hitch to ensure it's capable. If you haven't already gotten the rest of your components then I have the following recommendations: Baseplate:...

  • Tips For Finding Cold Side of Stop Light Switch Wire on 2020 Jeep Grand Cherokee
    Unfortunately I do not have a video of finding the coldside of the stop light switch on your 2020 Jeep Grand Cherokee, so you'll just need to keep testing the wires going to the stop light switch with a circuit tester like # PTW2993 until you find the one that only gets power when you press the brake pedal. I don't know which circuit tester you're using but the one with the hook makes it much easier to test those stupid small wires that the OEMs like to use for the brake light switch,...

  • Is A Stop Light Switch Kit Needed For A 2022 Jeep Cherokee
    The brake light switch wire for the 2022 Jeep Cherokee isn't useable so you would need to install the Roadmaster Stop Light Switch Kit # RM-751471 in order to get the braking signal. The Roadmaster Stop Light Switch Kit # RM-751449 you referenced would only be compatible with select Jeep Grand Cherokee's so it wouldn't be a fit for your vehicle. I've attached a short video below where Ryan will walk you through the installation process.

It's also compatible with all Roadmaster base plate kits. The base plate kit I suggest is the Roadmaster EZ4 # RM-521440-4. It's designed specifically for your 2014 Jeep Grand Cherokee Limited. The arms are removable so they're not as noticeable as other kits can be. To power the Jeep's lights I suggest...

  • Equipping a 2020 Jeep Grand Cherokee for Trailer and Flat Towing
    Let's begin with a hitch and trailer wiring for towing your RV with the Jeep Grand Cherokee. For a hitch, I'd recommend the Curt Class III hitch, part # C13182. You'll also need a ball mount and a trailer ball, provided in the # 989900 etrailer ball mount kit. For a brake controller, I'd go with the Curt # C51180 Echo Wireless Brake controller. The Echo will communicate wirelessly with your smart phone, which you'll use to control the braking action of the trailer. For a vehicle equipped...

  • Where Should The 12 Volt Wires Be Connected On A 7 Way To 6 Way Wire Connection?
    I will start by saying I can find nowhere that says your 2020 Jeep Grand Cherokee needs to have the battery disconnected in order to be flat towed. However, I did find a few things about people contacting the Jeep Product Information Center and them then saying that this was something they had originally said in the owner's manual, but is no longer needed for flat towing. With that being said, it is required that you use the Stop Light Switch Kit # RM-751449 if you are going to be using...

If you plan on flat towing your 2011 Honda CR-V often, I recommend installing a permanent system like the Roadmaster BrakeMaster System w BrakeAway for RVs w Air or Air Over Hydraulic Brakes # RM-9160.

  • Parts Needed to Flat Tow 2014-2018 Jeep Grand Cherokee
    In order to flat tow your Jeep Grand Cherokee behind an RV you need a base plate kit, a tow bar, safety cables, a lighting solution, a supplemental braking system, and likely a high-low adapter. Starting with the base plates, I recommend the Roadmaster EZ5 Base Plate Kit # RM-521440-5. This kit is custom fit for your Grand Cherokee and features a hidden bracket design that provides a clean look when you aren't towing. Its black powder coat finish is durable and corrosion resistant.

  • Is a Brake Lite Relay Required for 2018 Jeep Grand Cherokee Being Flat Towed
    I understand, there is a lot of components to flat tow a vehicle and even from year to year model changes can make a big difference. You do not need a brake lite relay for the Roadmaster Even Brake Portable Supplemental Braking System # RM-9400 on your 2018 Jeep Grand Cherokee. That's because when you put your Grand Cherokee into "tow mode" the brake pedal does not provide any power to the brake lights. A brake lite relay is used to not allow power to go through when towing, and allow...

  • Can the Monitor Light and CoachLink be Hooked to the Same Wire
    For starters, a 2015 Jeep Grand Cherokee and 2015 Jeep Wrangler are very different vehicles in regards to flat-towing components so looking at installation videos on a Wrangler is just going to confuse you. The Grand Cherokee actually does not have an active stop light circuit so you will need to use the Roadmaster Stop Light Switch Kit part # RM-751449. The Jeep Wrangler does have an active stop light switch circuit which is why you need to use the Roadmaster Brake-Lite Relay Kit part...

  • Complete Flat Towing Package Recommendation for a 2014 Jeep Grand Cherokee Limited
    To tow your 2014 Jeep Grand Cherokee with your motorhome there are several things that you will need. You will need a tow bar, base plate kit, safety cables, tow bar wiring, and a supplemental braking system. The tow bar installs on your motorhome and then connects to the base plates on your Jeep. I was able to find that your 2014 Jeep Grand Cherokee has a gross vehicle weight of up to 6500 pounds, so a tow bar that is rated for this weight that I recommend is the Roadmaster Blackhawk...

    Yes, you can use the InvisiBrake, # RM-8700, on your 2011 Jeep Grand Cherokee. In order for it to work properly you will need to have a wiring system that taps into the vehicle wiring like # RM-154 and you will need Stop Light Switch Kit, # RM-751449. I have included a link to a video showing a typical installation of the InvisiBrake for you to view. I have also included some helpful links on flat towing for you.

It is easier to set up, uses less power so it will take much longer for this system to drain your battery, and it doesn't require the use of additional parts so that it is compatible with your vehicle. Attached are some videos that you can reference for the installation. For a complete flat towing setup you will need a base plate kit, tow bar, safety...
