Question:

I have a 2015 Jeep Cherokee without the tow package. While getting the rear bumper replaced due to a rear-end accident, I had the body shop replace the fascia with the OEM one to accommodate the tow hitch as well as installing the OEM hitch. I also have the OEM 7-4 Way connector Genuine Chrysler 56055632AC 7-Way Trailer Connector. I cannot seem to find an aftermarket harness that will connect to the OEM adapter. Do you sell such a harness or some type of converter?

Expert Reply:

For your 2015 Jeep Cherokee, if you had the factory tow package, I recommend the Pollak Dodge/Chrysler OEM Plug Adapter # PK11933. Because you stated you didn't have the tow package, I have another recommendation.

We will need to start with the 2015 Jeep Cherokee T-One Vehicle Wiring Harness with 4-Pole Flat Trailer Connector # 118605 which connects behind each of your tail lights, and then you will need to splice in the connector # PK11998. This will give you the 4-way trailer functions. To add the other functions we will need the Draw-Tite Wiring Kit for 2, 4, 6, and 8 Brake Electric Trailer Brake Controllers # 5506.

Then we would just need to add a brake controller for towing a trailer with brakes. I highly recommend the Tekonsha Prodigy P3 # 90195 which gives you a LCD screen and takes code deciphering out of the equation. It will also give you 3 levels of boost and many customizable settings to your driving preferences.
