Brake Controller Wiring on a 1991 Jeep Cherokee

Question:

i have a 91 Jeep Cherokee. im trying to find the easiest way to install a brake controller. i dont know if the jeep is pre-wired with the plug for it. it does have the 7-way plug on the hitch. im only towing a tent trailer. what brake controller do you recommend?

Expert Reply:

The Jeeps are not pre-wired for brake controllers. The wires need to be run from the back of the Jeep (where the 7-way connector is) to the front and connected to the brake control box and the battery. Since your Jeep already has the 7-way in the rear who ever installed that may have run those extra wires up to the front. You will need to climb under the Jeep and follow the wires coming out of the 7-way plug. If the wires have already been run to the front you really will not need anything besides the brake controller. If the wires have not been run up to the front you will need to purchase a length of wire part # 5506 to do so. At this time our most popular controller is the Tekonsha Prodigy, part # 90185. This inertia activated controller provides the most value for the price. It is easy to mount to your dash and provides a digital display.
