  • Diodes display your RV's brake and turn signals on your towed Ford Taurus X's tail lights

    • Resists corrosion with heat-sealed casing
  • 7-Wire to 6-wire adapter cable lets you easily run power from your motorhome to your towed Ford Taurus X
    • Coiled to prevent dragging and tangling
    • Resistant to wear and tear with durable vinyl coating
  • 6-Way socket hardwires to towed car and mounts on the front bumper
  • Kit includes:
    • 4 Diodes
    • 4-Wire harness
    • 7-Way to 6-way adapter cord
    • 6-Way socket
    • 12 Spade connectors

  • 1-Year warranty


Notes:

  • A brake light relay (RM-88400 - sold separately) may be required if used with a flat tow brake system. (See below.)
  • A wiring converter (118158 - sold separately) and 2 additional diodes will be needed to retain separate turn and brake signals. (See below.)


  • review for diode kit

    "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

    Combined vs Seperate 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.

    Great product, but you need to be handy, and have some technical knowledge.

    Plug and play, pretty much, product works and is still working! Thanks.

    What I expected. Wish the harness had been two feet longer (installed on JLUR). The installation video one etrailer.com was a good resource. Worked as advertised.



    by:

    We installed the system with relative ease. We used a vehicle lift to install the wiring underneath the vehicle. Works nicely with our flat towing system.

    Chevrolet Trax

    I was told that this tail light and diode kit works on my 2025 Chevy Trax. It does not. You cannot hook if up to your battery to charge while towing because you cannot disconnect the positive battery terminal. As such, you cannot isolate the vehicle battery.
    Additionally, you cannot connect the trailer light wiring to a 2025 Chevy Trax. The tail lights and signals are controlled by the vehicle's computer. You must use separate magnetic tail lights and signals. I still use the adaptor cord, but only to go from my motorhome to separate tail light wiring that runs to my magnetic lights.

    Good quality product however had to remove one star because they did not supply bolts to mount the connection plate. Also could include a few more zip ties. Had to go buy bolts and more zip ties which was a little inconvenient given the price of this kit.

    Ford Escape

    I'm happy with the product and I was able to install it without too much difficulty. The etrailer.com video does not accurately represent the tail light removal. I believe the video was for a 2022 Ford Escape Hybrid. On my 2024 Ford Escape Hybrid the rear bumper must be removed in order to remove the entire tail light. To avoid removing the bumper, I disconnected all except the one hidden connection and pivot the tail light to create approximately 1.25" space at the top. I was able to fish the wires and make the diode attachments through that 1.25" space

    Jeep Wrangler

    This kit was fairly easy to install on a 2021 Jeep Wrangler. If you use this kit to set up a Roadmaster Nighthawk tow bar you do not need the 7-wire to 6-wire coil connector as the tow bar comes with it. Get a 4 diode wire kit without the coil connector and save money.



    by:

    Works great, to charge battery of toad you need to change the 12v power from center to match the towed vehicle or wire up towed car to center post 12v

    • Recommended Flat Towing Set Up for a 2024 Buick Encore GX
      Yes, it will. The Roadmaster Battery Disconnect with Switch for Towed Vehicle w/ Flat Tow Brake System item # RM-766 is not only compatible with your 2024 Buick Encore GX but it is recommended to be used by Roadmaster. This a great part that makes disconnecting and reconnecting your battery extremely simple. Here are some other parts you will need to flat tow your 2024 Buick Encore GX: Tow Bar and Safety Chains - Blue Ox Alpha 2 Non-Binding Tow Bar 2" Hitch - 6,500 lbs item # BX7380 Base...

    • Parts Needed For Flat Towing a 2024 Chevrolet Trax
      So currently(6/11/24), the only custom fit base plate I see available for your 2024 Chevrolet Trax is the Demco # DM59YV. Not sure if this is what you meant you have. If you can verify this and which non-binding tow bar you have I can verify if you will need any type of adapter. As for the Demco Stay-IN-Play Duo Braking System # DM86VR you will want to make sure you have a Charge Line # RM-156-25 to prevent the battery on your Trax from being drained. You will also need the Wiring # DM9523010-54...

      Hey Ron! Those parts are going to work great with your 2025 Buick Encore GX AWD. However, you're also going to need a braking system. Since your Fleetwood Discovery has air brakes you'll want the Demco Air Force One Flat Tow Brake System for RVs w/ Air Brakes item # SM99243. This is a proportional braking system that stops your tow vehicle with the same amount of force your RV is slowing or stopping with. The Blue Ox Base Plate Kit item # BLU84UR is custom fit for the AWD models of the...

    • Does 2015 Ford F-150 Need Brake Light Relay with Diode Tow Bar Lighting
      Hey Steve, thanks for all of the info you listed on your vehicle and light setup. So you would need a brake lite relay part # RM-88400 so that the braking system you use would not override the turn signals of your lighting system. Which lighting kit are you wanting to go with? If it's the Demco part # DM9523010-54 this is a fit for your truck and the relay system. Do you have a braking system picked out?

    • Adding Light Kit For Bike Rack To A Towed Vehicle
      Hello Paul, thanks for reaching out. Your towed vehicle is a 2022 Chevy Colorado, correct? If so, the best way to do this will be to just splice in an additional 4-flat connector on the back of your Toad. The Curt 4-Way Flat Trailer Connector # C58044 can be used for this. just as you said you will splice in before the diode so go between the diode and the tail light.

    • Troubleshooting Blue Ox EZ Light Wiring Harness With No Power To Rear Lights
      Hello Derek, thanks for reaching out. It could be an issue with the module on the # BX88285 EZ Light Wiring Harness. It is rare but not unheard of for the modules to go bad. What you do is take a wire tester and check the input and output wires on the module. If the input signal is good, but the output is not, the module is bad and will need to be replaced. Honestly, these EZ harnesses are notorious for having issues so I typically recommend using a diode kit instead. They are just way...

    • Recommended Flat Towing Wiring Harness for a 2023 Ford F-150 w/ LED Lights
      No, it will not. Since your 2023 Ford F-150 has LED tail lights you will need the Roadmaster Smart Diode 7-Wire to 6-Wire Wiring Kit for Variable Voltage LED Tail Lights item # RM38FR. The issue is that the brake and running lights will all be the same brightness with the standard diodes included in the Demco item # DM9523010-54. The diodes in the Roadmaster item # RM38FR kit convert the 12V signal from your RV's wiring to a 9V signal which allows the differentiating brightness needed between...

      Since your 2023 Ford F-150 has the LED lights I highly recommend the Roadmaster Smart Diode 7-Wire to 6-Wire Wiring Kit # RM38FR which has better diodes to make it compatible with the LED lights. The Demco Kit # DM9523010-54 has some really basic diodes which is why I recommend the Roadmaster over this. Demco doesn't list out fitment with LED lights but Roadmaster has a few diode kits and they say this newer one needs to be used for your truck. You'll also need the Charge Line Kit # RM-156-25...
