Is There Chance for Diodes to Overheat on Roadmaster Wiring Kit for 2013 Honda Fit

Updated 04/02/2019 | Published 03/31/2019

Question:

Ive purchased RM15267 for installation on my 2013 Honda Fit. The vehicle wiring harness to the rear bulbs is quite short. Im concerned that the diodes will be in contact with each other. Is this a risk for diode failure, i.e. heat problems? By chance do you know the ID of the wire loom that comes with the kit? Im preping for installation.

The diodes included in the Roadmaster Diode 7-Wire to 6-Wire Flexo-Coil Wiring Kit # RM-15267 are going to be close when you are installing them on your 2013 Honda Fit but there won't be any type of failure or overheating issues as it is standard for these diodes to be close, as you can see by the wiring diagram of the Wiring Kit. As for the loom, there is not a specific part number available from Roadmaster, however this is a simple 3' split plastic loom to house wiring.
