Roadmaster Tow Bar Braking Systems - RM-751490
- Roadmaster
- Stop Light Switch
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
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.

This product is good quality overall. Installation is tough. I've got big arms and big hands and trying to get the bracket on the stud is all but impossible. Tip: wire the switch BEFORE installing the bracket and switch. Adjusting the switch is equally as difficult. Otherwise, it is a straight forward install.
Comments
So far the product has been performing as advertised. We towed from south Florida to Colorado and back with multiple stops and side trips and no issues at all. We even went 4-wheeling in CO for a day and nothing worked loose. Id recommend this product, with some modifications suggested by Rad.

Great product installed very easily. I also used this switch to install a Brake Controller. By using this I did not have to tap into the Wrangler electrical system for the Bake Controller.

etrailer’s installation video was very helpful. However, the mounting bracket holes on either end seem to be the same size (the video and instructions state that the switch fits into only one end but for me it fit into both). Consequently, it is not clear which side of the bracket to use for the switch vs the vehicle stud. One other installation hint, perhaps unique to the Wrangler Rubicon or Wranglers with upgraded audio/Uconnect, there is an electronic module (3”x4”), mounted to the dash framework behind the lower dash panel, that must be dismounted in order to allow access to the bracket mounting location (see photo).

The installation videos make it SO easy! It took time for me since I'm a perfectionist but it turned out flawless. I saved over $1000 by installing it myself and etrailer made it possible!!! They covered everything I needed to do the job! Highly recommended etrailer every time!

The item was purchased specifically for a 2018 Rubicon JLU. Here are the flaws: 1. The bracket holes are the same size yet the instructions state use the larger hole for the switch side. A micrometer confirmed such. The angle and length of each bracket end varies slightly so you have to struggle with placing the switch on each bracket end and test for fit and switch adjustment parameters. Roadmaster could easily mark the appropriate end and assisted the customer. 2. The wires provided are to short for a proper fit specifically from the battery to the switch. Its a confined space and room to work with a short lead on the switch and a short power wire. Had to use a longer wire run and trim off once the power wire was routed and through the firewall. 3. Roadmaster knows the fuse terminal connection provided will not work in the JL yet provides it verses providing an inline blade fuse holder. That means a trip to the auto parts store since the kit in incomplete for a fuse holder and don't forget to have on hand the proper length of power wire to complete the installation. 4. There is also an electronic component which obstructs (behind the trim panel)accesses not described or illustrated in the installation instructions/video. It has to be moved to gain proper access. Not a big deal but there are 4 delicate plugs to remove so be cautious. Overall-The bracket is solid and engineered so that the switch aligns with a metal tab on the brake pedal. Dissatisfied with the accompanying accessories-Roadmaster really short changed the customer with these components.

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.

view full answer... - Solution to Deactivate Stoplight Indicator for Supplemental Braking System When Not TowingSince what you are wanting is to prevent the brake light indicator of your supplemental braking system from illuminating when you aren't flat towing it the simplest solution we can offer is to wire in a switch on the power wire of the light like with part # D16740. This will easily allow you to kill the light whenever you don't want it and then flip it on when flat towing.
view full answer... - Why Dont Side Marker Clearance Lights Come On When Installing Diode Tow Bar Light Kit on VehicleYou 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.
