Separate vs. Combined Lighting Systems
This kit will display on your towed car as a combined lighting system - also known as a 2-wire system. A combined lighting 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, while a separate/3-wire system light up independently of each other. Add a wiring converter (118158 - sold separately) and 2 additional diodes to get a separate lighting system.
Do I Need a Brake Light Relay?
Because your vehicle has a combined lighting system - wherein the brake signals and the turn signals are carried on a single wire - a brake light relay (RM-88400 - sold separately) may be required if you use a supplemental braking system with your towing setup. A supplemental braking system depresses the brake pedal in your towed car every time you apply the brakes in your RV. So, if your towed car's brake lights illuminate when the brake pedal is pressed and the engine is off - as is the case when towing - then you need to install a relay to ensure that the lights on your towed car always act in accordance with the signals sent by your RV via the wiring harness. Without a relay, the brake signal from your towed car will override the turn signal sent by your RV when you slow down to make turns, creating a potential hazard.

etrailer was extremely helpful in getting me parts to flat tow our 2023 Jeep Wagoneer. More specifically, Noah took the time to research the required parts, offer technical guidance, and follow up to ensure I was taken care of. Top notch service which was much appreciated.

Needed new wiring and diodes for my 2023 Jeep Rubicon. ETrailer makes it so easy to set up all the wiring for flat towing.

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.

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

See what our Experts say about this Demco Tow Bar Wiring
- How To Determine If I Need To Install A Brake Light Relay On My Towed VehicleIt depends on whether or not the towed vehicle's brake lights illuminate when the brake pedal is pushed when the vehicle is being towed. If yes, then you'll need to install a brake light relay with # RM-88400; that way your vehicle will act in accordance with the signals sent by your RV.
view full answer... - Difference Between Blue Ox and Demco Wiring Kit for Flat Towing 2019 Jeep WranglerThere is really only one difference between the Demco 4-Diode Universal Towed Vehicle Wiring Kit with 7-Wire to 6-Wire Coiled Connector # DM9523010-54 and the Blue Ox Tow Bar Wiring Kit # BX8848, which is that the Demco comes with the 7-Wire to 6-Wire cord as well as a vehicle-side 6-way while the Blue Ox kit requires those be purchased separately. So if you were to go with the Blue Ox Tow Bar Wiring Kit # BX8848 you would also need the Blue Ox 7-Wire to 6-Wire, Coiled Electrical Cord...
view full answer... - Tow Bar Lighting Kit That Fits 2018 Ford EdgeThe Hopkins Tow Bar Lighting Kit part # HM56011 is a confirmed fit for the Sport and Titanium models of your 2018 Ford Edge but not the other models. If you have one of the other models you'd need a diode kit like the part # DM9523010-54. For your tow vehicle that does not have air brakes the DUO part # SM99251 that you mentioned would be a great option. Our installers prefer this system to all of the other permanent install options because of how well it works and how much easier it...
view full answer... - Recommended Tow Dolly For A 2010 Ford Ranger The online manual for a 2010 Ford Ranger doesn't list anything about dolly towing the vehicle but does state that manual transmissions can be placed in 2WD and flat towed, so you're more than likely fine to dolly tow your Ranger, but I recommend double-checking with your local Ford dealership to ensure there isn't anything else that would prevent you from doing so. If you haven't purchased your tow dolly yet then I recommend the Demco Kar Kaddy X Tow Dolly w/ Disc Brakes # DM9713093....
view full answer... - Procedure and Equipment Needed to Flat Tow 2015 Ford Edge SEL Behind MotorhomeAccording to what I've read in the owner's manual, your Edge can indeed be flat towed if the specific procedures listed in the manual are followed precisely. To flat tow your Edge, hook up to the motorhome then press and hold the brake to the floor. Start the vehicle and shift into Neutral with the brake pedal still pressed then turn off the vehicle. On a keyless start equipped vehicle, push the keyless start button one to shut off. If the vehicle has an ignition key, turn the vehicle...
view full answer... - Comparing Base Plate Kits for a 2019 Ford ExpeditionThe best base plate kit for a 2019 Ford Expedition is the Demco Tabless Base Plate Kit part # DM9519318 because it does not have any sort of cross tube that attaches the two side together unlike the Roadmaster Direct-Connect Base Plate Kit part # RM-524457-5 or Blue Ox Base Plate Kit part # BX2678. The lack of a cross tube is going to limit the amount of modifications that are needed which then reduces install time as well so this is really the best route to take. Furthermore, the Demco...

This would be compatible with the discontinued 521450-5 base plate you've mentioned or the current model, which is the Roadmaster Direct-Connect Base Plate Kit - Removable Arms # RM-521453-5. If...

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...
view full answer... - Troubleshooting A Non-Working Light Function With Diode WiringSince the diodes in the Demco 4-Diode Universal Towed Vehicle Wiring Kit w/ 7-Wire to 6-Wire Coiled Connector # DM9523010-54 use spade terminal connectors the easiest way to test the diode would be to swap the connections on the diode in question and test your light functions to see if the terminal on the diode is the issue. If it randomly stopped working then the cause is typically just a loose connection or a bad ground so I would check the connections and make sure there's no damage...

The Demco Kit # DM9523010-54 has some really basic diodes which is why I recommend the Roadmaster over this.

view full answer... - Tow Bar and Flat Tow Parts Needed for Heavy 2020 Ram 3500We can definitely get you a flat tow set up for your 2020 Ram 3500. These trucks are heavy, but the GVWR you are referring to is the gross weight, which is the max weight it can be when loaded with passengers and cargo. According to my research, a 2020 Ram 3500 has a curb weight (unloaded) of up to just over 7,500 lbs max. So even if you have some cargo in the truck, it is difficult to imagine you will be exceeding the 10,500 lb tow bar option you can use with a 2 inch hitch on your motorhome,...
