• Only Trailer Turn Signals Work on Trailer Wiring Harness for a 2000 Jeep Grand Cherokee
  The first thing I would check are any fuses or relays related to the factory trailer wiring connection point of the 2000 Jeep Grand Cherokee. Use the owner's manual to find their locations.

The hardware used to attach the hitch to the vehicle is considered a one-time use item only. If the bolts are torqued more than once, they can stretch which weakens them. We...
