Question:
How do I connect a blue reverse wire in a 5 pin trailer light system to a Jeep Grand Cherokee 2005. Had 4 pin system but bought a new trailer. I cannot identify which wire to connect to by color coding. Any help is appreciated.

Expert Reply:
The blue wire on the 4-Pole to 5-Pole Trailer Connector Adapter would need to be lengthened and tapped into the circuit that feeds the reverse lights on your Grand Cherokee. Simply locate the reverse lamp assembly, and find the wire feeding the bulb. This is where you would tap in the blue wire. You can use a Scotchlok connector, like part # SWC502905-1.
