The Cool Tech wiring harness runs the Jeep brake/tail/turn signals and clearance lights thru the pigtail connector to the 7-pin plug on the RV. Since the RV supplies power for the Jeep lights you don't want the Jeep trying to do the same with the brake lights. It causes problems on the Jeep's CanBus and can cause expensive electrical problems.
It has nothing to do with the steering wheel lock which doesn't exist on my 2011. There is no need to leave the key in when towing this model year Jeep.
SO the Cool Tech harness has no diodes then. Being a Jeep electronics engineer I'm trying to understand why the battery needs to be disconnected. Cannot think of any way that the CAN bus could be affected since it's totally dead when the vehicle ignition is turned off?
