2024 Ram 1500 Roadmaster Diode 7-Wire to 6-Wire Flexo-Coil Wiring Kit: Complete Installation

Down wiring is designed to get the motorhome signals from the back of the motorhome to the back of your truck.

So you have to be able to safely transfer those lighting signals back here, and the diode wiring kit is gonna help to be able to do that. The way that these diodes are gonna work is they're gonna tie into the back of your taillights. If you are flat towing your vehicle behind your motor home, it'll take the motor home signals. more

Hello, neighbors, it's Brad here at etrailer and today, we're taking a look at installing the CURT custom fit vehicle wiring for flat-towed vehicles on a 2023 Jeep Wrangler. Now, this kit is custom fit to our Wrangler as well as a few other generations of Wrangler as well as the Gladiator. And when it comes to flat-towing vehicles, one of the things that's really come with technology is diode wiring, and long gone are the days of magnetic tow lights, mostly because vehicles today just aren't magnetic. And that's one more cable that you have to run down the vehicle and it's just one more thing to store. So having diode wiring is really nice because you can simply plug in your umbilical and it'll send the running lights, turn signals, and brake lights to the towed vehicle lights. That way, it keeps you safe and legal. more
