• Why is the Roadmaster Stop Light Switch Kit Needed for a 2018 Jeep JL Wrangler
  
• I cannot tell you the exact "influencer" as you referred to it as but while the vehicle is setup for flat-towing, the brake light switch will shut off after 10 minutes of inactivity. If you open or close the door that will then wake the vehicle up but as you will not be opening and closing the door while in tow you will need to use the Roadmaster Stop Light Switch Kit part # RM-751490 in order for a supplemental braking system to function properly on your 2018 Jeep JL Wrangler. If you...

• Troubleshooting Invisibrake Monitor and Breakaway Installation on 2014 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited
  
• The motorhome monitor alarm in Monitor/Alarm Kit # RM-98850 will not sound when you press the motorhome brake pedal.

• Wiring Options for a Brake Controller on a 2018 Jeep JL Wrangler Unlimited Without Tow Package
  
• Since your 2018 Jeep JL Wrangler Unlimited doesn't have the factory tow package you will need to start off with 4-Way wiring like the recommended Tekonsha T-One # 118786. Once you have that installed there are a few options for you. You can either install the 7-Way RV Upgrade Kit # ETBC7L which only adds 12V power to the 7-Way and allows you to use the Curt Echo # C51180 brake controller with an Apple or Android smart device, or you can install the Universal Installation Kit # ETBC7...

• Roadmaster Stop Light Switch Kit For 2018 Jeep JL Wrangler Unlimited
  
• The Roadmaster Stop Light Switch Kit # RM-751490 will work for your 2018 Jeep JL Wrangler Unlimited. As you know the fuse tap does not work with the Jeep JL because it will not fit in the spot in the fuse box. All you need is a fuse holder # SWC9545 and the 10 amp fuse that comes with # RM-751490. That connection will go right to the battery. I have a video attached that shows this product being installed on the 2018 Jeep JL Wrangler Unlimited. The part about the fuse starts at...

• Installing Roadmaster Flexo-Coil Wiring on a 2019 Jeep Wrangler Rubicon JL
  
• According to my research you can use the Flexo-Coil Wiring Kit # RM-15267 for your 2019 Jeep Wrangler Rubicon but I don't believe you will connect to the same color wires as shown in the linked video for this kit on a 2017 Wrangler Unlimited. From what I could find I believe that the running light should be a white and gray wire on your driver's side but a white and orange wire on the passenger side. The stop/turn signals should be found on the yellow wire for the driver's side and the...

• Why Dont Side Marker Clearance Lights Come On When Installing Diode Tow Bar Light Kit on Vehicle
  
• You did everything correctly and the Roadmaster Diode Kit part # RM-15267 that you referenced is working properly. So diodes are designed by nature to prevent current from backfeeding onto the rest of the vehicle's wiring. So when you installed the diode intended for application of the running light circuit right near the taillight assemblies it is allowing current to go just to the taillights of the vehicle and not further back to illuminate any of the side marker lights. Ideally I could...
