The diode works great. I have used them in other flat tow projects as long as 5 years ago and they are still working. The problem I have is this is the wrong product for my 2026 Ford Ranger. After many unproductive phone calls and me doing some diagnoses I found out that the Park light and Stop light uses the same wire. The Ranger Body Control module changes the voltage on the wire to make it brighter for stop or lower voltage for Park lights. I called back and I was able to talk to Daylon H. He was able to hopefully get the right parts sent to me (smart Diode). After looking at it I think it will work. In all fairness I talked to Demco and Roadmaster and they could not help me either. This is my 3rd e-trailer flat tow install. The other 2 installs went very well. This one not as well I will have over a month on this install. I'm not your regular DYI. I am a retired 34 year mechanic that specialized in electronic repair.

Roadmaster recommends using the smart diodes (like # RO54FR) on your 2026 Ranger.

Fast shipping - thanks! Haven't installed yet but looks like what I needed.

The Blue Ox Accessory Kit for the Aventa LX Tow Bar, the extra (2) Diodes, the Fuse By-Pass Switch, the Aventa LX Tow Bar and the Patriot Brake Unit all arrived in tact and in a timely manner. I really appreciate the help in defining what I need to tow my '09 Yukon behind our new Newmar Dutch Star. So far the wiring is complete - and works! I hope to have the Tow Bar hardware done this week - i'll try and get a picture. Thanks again!
