I ordered Tow bar wiring kit #38955 yesterday. Once this is installed, do I need to pull the brake fuse on the towed vehicle?

Expert Reply:
Once the Tail Light Isolating Diode System is installed, no fuses need be removed. Think of the diodes as sort of a gatekeeper, that will allow the current to travel only from the tow vehicle to the tail lights of the vehicle being towed, without any worry of back feeding.
