Today, in our 2016 Subaru Forester, we're going to be taking a look at installing the Roadmaster Diode 7-Wire to 6-Wire Flexo Coil Wiring Kit, part number RM-15267. Now here's what it looks like once it's installed. As you can see, with our Flexo Coil cable, it's going to allow you to extend your wire out to 8 feet and it's going to recoil back to about 15 inches in length. Now, this diode system is going to help protect your Subaru's electrical system from any kind of voltage spikes that may occur from your RV. It's going to be a separate system that's isolated and it's not going to allow anything to back-feed into your car's electrical system; it's going to work strictly on it's own with the diode kit and it's going to help combine your tail lights on your Subaru into a combined setup, instead of the separate turn signal, brake, and tail light signal that it comes with from the factory. Now, let's go ahead and show you how to install it. This will be our 7-way to 6-way Flexo Coil wiring, a little bit of wire loom, some zip ties, our diodes, a length of wire .. it's going to run from the front to the rear of our car ...

and a bracket. Now, our first step is going to be to remove our tail lights, so we're going to take our 10mm socket and remove the two bolts. We're going to want to just pull back firmly . we'll squeeze in on this tab, unplug it, and set our light to the side and then we'll remove the other side . squeeze in on the tab and we'll set the light aside. Now, we're going to need to strip back the tape on our wiring harness so we can gain access to our wires. You want to keep in mind that anything we're doing to this side we're going to repeat on the other side.

Now we'll need to figure out which of our wires is going to be our tail light to our kit. We're going to mark the blue wire and test it on the passenger side as well. We're going to need to fetch some of our wiring; I took a piece of tubing and pressed it down. You can use a piece of air tubing or a piece of fish tape or wire, and we'll attach it to our inaudible 00:02:38 wire with some electrical tape and pull some up into place. We're going to need to separate our wires, so just take a knife and cut down between them carefully so we don't cut the covering off of the other wires next to it and we'll separate our wires. Our white wire is going to be our ground, so we're going to strip it back, put a ring-loop connector on it, and ground it to the body. Cut it back about 1/4 of an inch, place on our connector, cramp it into place, and give it a tug.

Now we can take a self-tapping screw that we picked up at our local hardware store and we're going to ground this onto the body, making sure it's nice and tight so we have a good ground. Then, we're going to strip back our brown and green wire about 1/4 of an inch. We aren't going to use the yellow wire. We can put our blue spade connectors in place. Making sure that our lights are turned off, we can cut the blue wire. Strip it back a little ways more because we're going to fold this one over; it's a thin wire.

We'll fold it over onto itself, put on one of our spade connectors, and we'll do the same for the other side. Now, we'll attach the single side of our diode going towards the plug or the bulb. On the other side, we'll take that blue wire, which is our tail lamp circuit, and plug it into there. We'll take our brown wire, which is going to be our tail lamp circuit, and plug it into the other half. Now we're going to test for our right turn signal and that's going to be our green wire that's coming our of our plug. So we're going to take this green wire . and it's got a brown tracer on it . we're going to cut it in half, strip it back, take our blue spade connectors and cramp it on, making sure that it's nice and tight, and then we'll take our other diode with the single side/out pointing to our plug or bulb and the other half to the in part of it. Then, we'll take our green wire from our four-flat connector and we'll go in the other half of that. Now these have two-sided tape on the back, so I'm just going to stick them together and then we'll wrap them all with electrical tape to help keep out any moisture or dirt. Take the electrical tape and wrap the connections and wrap up the yellow wire as well, even though it's not going to have any power going through it. Then, we can reinstall our l
