Question:
We have a 2014 Honda CRV Touring. We have purchased from eTrailer.com the Hopkins Tail Light Wiring Harness Kit - HM56304 and the Invisibrake. On Page 3 of the Invisibrake Installation manual it says Likewise, if a plug and play electrical harness has been used, diodes must be installed to protect the towed lighting harness. Most harnesses of this type only have diodes to protect the towed vehicles electrical circuit.. Do I need ti add more diodes? If so where? Thanks

Expert Reply:
If you check out the picture I attached you will see where to install the diodes on your vehicle to install both the Roadmaster InvisiBrake Supplemental Braking System # RM-8700 and the part # HM56304 that you referenced.
For a diode kit you would want the part # RM-794.
