While we have not had a chance to install a brake controller on a 2008 Jeep Grand Cherokee we have installed them on other Jeeps of the same year, and the process will be similar.

Assuming you do not have the factory tow package or factory 7-way on your Grand Cherokee you need to start with a 4-way connector, the T-One Vehicle Wiring Harness # 118425, and this is something we do have an installation video for on an '08 Grand Cherokee.

You will also need the Universal Installation Kit for Trailer Brake Controller # ETBC7, which will give you a 7- and 4-way trailer connector, circuit breakers and the rest of the hardware needed to install a brake controller; I have added a link to a video of this being installed on an '08 Jeep Liberty, which will be a similar install process.

This will allow you to use a brake controller such as the Curt TriFlex # C24VV, which installs with Wiring Adapter # C51515. I strongly recommend reading the linked help article on brake controller installation which is an excellent guide on the process required to install a brake controller.
