I'm not sure who said what and when, but there some things you just can't make up especially when you don't have the knowledge of it in the first place, i'am a DIY'er for the most part until it comes to electrical then i have to find the best person for the job thru recomendations and have it done, which i did. Thanks to this forum and the comments made it prompted me to call Roadmaster (James)back and say look, i'm going to throw you under the Bus if i can't get some answers based on what people are telling me on this forum i belong to.
1. Will not having my lights on the Coach when towing mess up the computer in my 2014 Jeep from backfeed?
Answ: Not to my knowledge, if you have the Diodes in place this will prevent any backfeed.
2.Then why must i drive with my Coach running lights on?
Answ:The brakes will over ride the blinkers if you shoud use them at the same time if you have your lights on with the brake-lite relay in tact then with your lights on this will excite the relay and you will have a blinker in lieu of a brake lite on that side be it left or right.
3.So if a blinker is necessary in traffic could i momentarily flick my lights on for that option?
Yes.
In overview there is probaly several ways this could have been done,but i did not want separate lights or a light bar on the Jeep, i got it done to my satisfaction and in the seven years i towed with my previos Jeep i never had a issue with Diodes. Unfortunately there was a misunderstanding and thanks to this Forum,Roadmaster i believe we have it corrected. Happy Holidays.....3708
