Trailer Wiring Harness Installation - 1999 - 2004 Jeep Grand Cherokee - Video
Today we are going to be installing a wiring harness 118369 which will fit 1999 to 2004 Jeep Grand Cherokee. We are inside the back hatch now of the Grand Cherokee. There are also going to be 3 screws we are going to have to remove to access the wiring harness. You need to remove this screw here on the threshold. Both of these screws are here for the cargo tie down. Both of which need to be removed also. With these 3 screws removed we want to go ahead and remove this whole interior panel here. Besides the screws there are push rivet fasteners that are all inside here and along the inside of the side pieces as well. So we need to gain access to the interiors so we need to pop this side off. Go ahead and remove the bottom cargo tray to give us a little more room to work. more

Okay, we are at the rear of the Grand Cherokee here and we are going to go ahead and locate the ports that we are going to be plugging our wiring harness into. these ports are located directly behind the taillights on both sides of the vehicle. So, the first thing that we need to do is go ahead and remove both taillights. To do that, we need to remove the inboard screws that are holding it into place. There are two on each taillight. With those screws removed we can just kind of gently rock it back and forth to release the outboard side clips that are also holding the taillight into place. And with that pulled back, you can see on the back side of the taillight here is the port that we are going to need to disconnect and plug our harness in line to. And then for clarity, I am also going to remove this fasteners here at the bottom side of the wiring harness so I can set my taillight off to the side. 1:08 more

Trailer Wiring Harness Installation - 1999 Jeep Wrangler - Video
Today on this 1999 Jeep Wrangler we are going to install part number 118409 from Tow Ready. This is their T-One wire harness. Right now we are looking at the driver side of the vehicle and our connection points are going to be behind the body work right here so pull away the plastic trim panel right here to get access to the wiring. There is a little plastic rivet right here that we have to remove. Now you have to follow the wire harness up and there will be a connection point where you unplug. This one happened to have a bunch of tape wrapped around it so uncover the tape to get to the connection harness. It is kind of hard to see but there is a little latch on the top. Push down on it and it should pop apart. 00:39 more

Trailer Wiring Harness Installation - 2010 Jeep Patriot - Video
Today on this 2010 Jeep Patriot we are going to install wiring harness part number 118552 from Tow Ready and we are also going to use a 4-pole flat connector mounting bracket and we are going to use part number 118144 also from Tow Ready. For a quick overview what is going to happen is we are going to make our attachment points behind both tail lights and then we are going to run a 4-pole wiring harness down to the hitch and we are going to take our power wire and run it to the battery and we are going to run it up the driver side frame rail up to the battery. Lets begin. Open up the tail gate and start taking off the tail lights. When you take the attachment points off these are actually plastic rivets underneath here, the cap is kind of fragile so be careful when you remove it. Use a screwdriver to get it started and then use a trim panel tool to remove it. Gently pull it back a little bit, maybe wiggle it, and then pull it apart. At this point we can leave the light attached and then take off the other one. If you can it might be a better idea to disconnect the wiring harness from the light and put the light in the same spot just so it does not move around. 01:06 more

OK, we will start off by positioning our 4-pole flat behind the hitch, and we are just going to leave it loose like that for now. And we will run our wires to the drivers side and the passengers side. Starting with the passengers side, which will be the green and white wires, we are going to run it behind the hitch itself, because there really is not anywhere else where you can hide the wiring on this particular vehicle. So, it is going to take quite a few zip-ties to hold everything in place. And our junction point will be up here, behind this plastic here, approximately in this area here. All right, we will just take down this plastic right here. more
