Roadmaster Flat Tow Wiring Harness

  • Diode Kit
  • Splices into Vehicle Wiring
  • Universal
  • Roadmaster
  • Tail Light Mount

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:

  • 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.

    • Trailer Wiring Options For A 2025 Chevy Equinox Without Factory Towing Package
      Hi Dennis, your request is proving to be more difficult than I assumed it was going to be. From what I could ascertain, you have 2 to 3 options for your 2025 Chevy Equinox without the tow package, which I have listed out below. First, you can use the Tekonsha ZCI Circuit Protected Vehicle Wiring Harness # 119250KIT. This uses sensors clamped over the wiring so you do not need to do any splicing, which is nice. You will still have to run a line up to the battery to provide the needed power,...

    • Recommended Parts Needed to Flat Tow a 2018 Jeep Wrangler JL or JL Unlimited
      For your 2018 Jeep Wrangler JL, I recommend starting with the Roadmaster EZ5 Base Plate Kit # RM-521453-5. This kit has removable arms to give you a very clean look when not flat towing your Jeep, and also gives you a clean connection to your tow bar when towing behind your motorhome. I recommend installing this base plate using Loctite threadlocker # LT37420 to keep your hardware from vibrating loose over time. For your tow bar, I recommend the Roadmaster Nighthawk All Terrain, Non-Binding...

      The TowDaddy Custom Tail Light Wiring Kit for Towed Vehicles # TD3018 is not a fit for your 2005 Honda Pilot. TowDaddy was acquired by Hopkins, but they no longer make these harnesses and I do not recommend them. Hopkins does make some custom wiring connection harnesses but unfortunately they do not make one for your Pilot.

It is very easy to maneuver and it comes with the safety cables for added security when driving down the road. Next you will want your base plates. Blue Ox has their Mini Cooper Base Plate Kit # BX1307 which works really well with the Alpha tow bar. This kit is very well hidden. You can remove the arms when...

      You are correct that there are quite a few parts necessary to flat tow your 2014 Jeep Grand Cherokee behind your motorhome but I'll be happy to list everything you'll need. As you mentioned, you'll need base plates, and the Roadmaster EZ5 # RM-521440-5 is a confirmed fit for your Jeep so long as it is not an SRT-8 model, which since you listed this part I assume it is not.

So, for your 2023 Jeep Grand Cherokee you're going to want the Roadmaster Direct-Connect Base Plate Kit # RM77ZR for a base plate and the Roadmaster Nighhawk # RM-676 for a tow bar. This tow bar will easily attach to the base plate using the direct connect brackets, has an integrated LED light for low light conditions, and has an 8K capacity...

    • Can a 2010 Honda Accord be Flat Towed Behind a RV
      According to Honda, the 2010 Honda Accord cannot be flat towed with all 4 wheels on the ground. Your best option to tow your vehicle will be to use a tow dolly like the Roadmaster Tow Dolly w/ Electric Brakes, # RM-2050-1. The tow dolly will allow your Honda to ride with the front wheels off the ground which will guarantee that you will not damage the vehicle's transmission. I also recommend the Roadmaster Universal Hy-Power Diode Wiring Kit, # RM-154, for a lighting solution. The kit...

      I am so sorry to hear about your car! If you were using a compatible Demco Air Force One Supplemental System like the # DM26VR on your 2014 Buick Enclave, that braking system will not necessarily fit a new vehicle.

    • Tow Bar Braking and Lighting Kit Recommendation for 2009 Jeep Liberty
      Your RV may have separate taillight circuits, but if it has trailer wiring installed on it those circuits will be combined at the trailer connector as that is the standard trailer wiring configuration. Also, your Liberty may have separate taillights as well but you can still wire that setup to a 4 diode kit like the # RM-154 since this will allow your blinker/stoplights be be carried on the same bulb. I like the part # RM-15267 as it comes with some extra wiring and adapters to make the...

      Hi Lisa; the Roadmaster Direct-Connect Base Plate Kit # RM-521453-5 will require trimming your skid plate. You will remove it, trim it as seen in the picture below, and reinstall it when you're finished. There is really no way around this, and the same is true for other base plate kits. I'm assuming you already have part of your wiring from the Nighthawk # RM-676. If you have the ParkSense proximity sensors you need the # RM47ZR and if you do not have ParkSense the # RM-154 to complete...

      There are actually 5 things you will need in order to flat tow your 2000 Jeep Grand Cherokee behind an RV. First, you will need to install base plates on the Jeep. You will then need a tow bar that is compatible with the base plates. Safety chains and lighting are the next two required items.
