Installation

This custom-fit T-connector plugs into your vehicle's wiring harness, which is located behind the driver's-side and passenger's-side tail lights. You will have to remove the tail light assemblies to access this harness. Once you've plugged in the connector, run the red hot lead up to your car battery. Connect the included fuse holder, and then connect the fuse holder to the positive terminal on your battery.


T-One Connection Location Points Behind Tail Lights

Once installation is complete, the 4-way connector will be stowed beneath your vehicle, near the trailer hitch. A mounting bracket (sold separately) is recommended to keep the connector secure.


It is recommended that you use a small amount of grease on all electrical connections - the plugs on your automobile and the 4-pole connector itself - to help prevent corrosion.


Powered Tail Light Converter

A tail light converter is built into this T-connector. This converter is a battery-powered unit that bypasses the electrical routes that are used by a basic wiring harness. As a result, there is virtually no draw on your tail light circuits.


Because most trailers run on a two-wire system - wherein the brake and turn signals are carried on one wire - the separate brake and turn signals from your vehicle's three-wire system need to be combined so they are compatible with the wiring system of the trailer. This converter combines the brake and turn signal functions of your automobile so that they run on one wire to properly activate your trailer's tail lights. Note: This will not affect how the tail lights on your vehicle operate.

Installations was very easy , even for the diy person. Product worked as expected for the first couple of uses, but after that system shorted out on the tail light circuit, by then I had lost all information from ordering. When it happened I was 400 miles away from home, and towing a trailer. I had to run a jumper wire straight from the battery to power my taillights to get back home. Needless to say , not a very pleased customer with this product.



by:
2016 Jeep Cherokee

The trailer connectors arrived and although I specifically ordered for a 2016 jeep Cherokee the instructions for labeled for a 2014.
While the system did work , it required several work arounds and mods to accomplish a successful installation. No double sided tape was shipped with the product ($12 from [local auto part store]) and the right side harness required a splice of additional wire to reach the right side taillight
. All said and done the product worked fine and the trailer is fully functions and legal.

  • Can Trailer Wiring Harness Be Connected to the Power Outlet at Back of a 2016 Jeep Cherokee
    Even though attaching the power wire to a 12 volt outlet would make installation a little faster, the trailer wiring harness # HM11142464 needs to be connected directly to the vehicle battery on your 2016 Jeep Cherokee. This is so it is fused by itself and so the harness can maintain its level of isolation from the vehicle wiring protecting it from short circuits and possible costly repairs. I have included a link to a video showing installation of wiring harness # 118605 which installs...

  • Will Adding Aftermarket Part Increase Towing Capacity of 2016 Jeep Cherokee
    Adding aftermarket parts to your 2016 Jeep Cherokee can improve your towing experience but it's not going to increase your towing capacity. Your Jeep's towing capacity is determined by Jeep based on how it is equipped at the factory and adding aftermarket parts will not change that. From my research the 2016 Cherokee without the tow package has a max towing capacity of 2,000 pounds so you can not safely tow a 4,500 pound trailer, regardless of what you have added. Like I said orginally,...

  • Hopkins 4-Way Wiring Harness Compatible With 2014 Jeep Cherokee
    A Hopkins wiring harness is absolutely compatible with a 2014 Jeep Cherokee, but it depends on the harness; you will need a wiring harness that is designed specifically to fit your '14 Cherokee in order for it to work. The correct Hopkins harness is the Hopkins Plug-In Simple Vehicle Wiring Harness # HM11142464. This will plug in behind your tail lights and you'll run a hot lead to your battery for the install, as you can see by the linked installation instructions. Additionally, to...

  • 4-Way Flat Wiring Harness Requirements For a 2018 Jeep Cherokee And etrailer Hitch Receiver
    This will depend on what you plan to use theetrailer Hitch Receiver # e73ZR for on your 2018 Jeep Cherokee Latitude. I recommend installing the Hopkins Plug-In Simple Vehicle Wiring Harness # HM11142464 when you install the receiver as it can be easier to install the wiring harness before the receiver and allows you more room to run the wiring. The wiring will be required for any small trailers that you may see yourself pulling as it is what sends power to the taillights on the trailer....

  • What is the Towing Capacity of a 2015 Jeep Cherokee
    If you are ever in doubt about the towing capacity of the vehicle then there is a sure fire way to tell and you will not need to know any of the options the vehicle is equipped with in order to do so. This process includes opening the driver door and looking for a white sticker. This sticker will have a gross combined weight rating (GCWR) and a gross vehicle weight rating (GVWR) figure. If you take the GVWR and subtract that from the GCWR then that will give you the maximum gross trailer...

  • Adding 4-Way Trailer Connector to 2016 Jeep Cherokee Trailhawk with OEM 7- and 4-Way Connector
    The Hopkins Plug-In Simple Vehicle Wiring Connector # HM11142464 referenced in your question will plug into ports behind the driver and passenger side tail lights on your 2016 Jeep Cherokee Trailhawk to provide you with an additional 4-Way connector. Because it will be wired to different circuits than your existing OEM 7- and 4-Way connector both connectors can be used at the same time. It sounds like you are then looking for a way to integrate the new 4-Way into the OEM bracket on your...

  • Troubleshooting Hopkins 4-Way Flat Trailer Wiring Kit on a 2015 Jeep Cherokee
    I do have a way you can test to see what it going on with your Hopkins # HM11142464 unit. If you are getting constant power on all of the lighting function pins then what you want to do is take a circuit tester like part # PTW2979 and test the wires coming from the connectors that tee in behind the taillights on your 2015 Jeep Cherokee. If those wires don't have constant power going in but they do coming out then the power module is messed up internally and you need to replace your wiring. Since...
