Question:

Hi , has Jeep done away with the need for the electronic power steering harness on the 2020 Grand Cherokee Limited. I know that this harness was a must so the Jeep wouldn’t go into the infamous “ death wobble”on earlier models. I have not been able to find anything on them now and the Jeep dealer says there is no kit for a Grand Cherokee. Also if not, does the Grand Cherokee Limited need a battery charging wire harness to keep the battery up while using a aux. tow brake unit

The Mopar Flat-Tow Wiring Harnesses are no longer required on newer Jeeps such as a 2020 Jeep Grand Cherokee. I have attached a list of parts that you will need to flat-tow said vehicle below. The battery charge line is not required.
