Question:
The new Jeep Hybrid 4xE does not have an alternator, but instead uses a fairly complicated dual charging system module. I wish to flat tow this vehicle behind my RV so that the bus provides power to the turn and brake lights as well as charge amperage to the vehicle itself. 1 Does the appropriate wiring harness exist yet, and 2 will this harness allow for the 7-pin? to charge the main batteries in the jeep?

Roadmaster Diode 7-Wire to 6-Wire Flexo-Coil Wiring Kit Item # RM-15267. This kit is a diode kit that allows you to utilize your factory lights for function while towing. The diodes connect to factory wiring behind each taillight, the wiring is ran from the front of the vehicle to each side to provide the function from the towing vehicle. The diodes protect the factory wiring from back feed.
