Question:

What parts/wiring harnesses will I need to install the Redarc Tow-Pro Elite Brake Controller on my 2014 Jeep Wangler Rubicon JK Unlimited with tow package? The tow package for that year came with a 4-pin trailer plug. I will install the Mopar wiring for the 7-pin trailer connection prior to installing the brake controller. Thanks for your help.

The Redarc # RED44FR Tow-Pro Elite brake controller includes a universal wiring pigtail as well as a mounting bezel for the control knob.

The remainder of what you'll need wiring-wise will depend on what the Mopar 7-way connector you have includes and how it installs. From what I read online, the Mopar harness installs at the taillights and provides a feed up under the vehicle to the battery for the feed for the 12V accessory power circuit to the trailer connector as well as an output circuit for the brake controller that gets fed into the vehicle.

The instructions for the 82210214AB kit I looked online at didn't appear to include a provision for a ground/power feed to the brake controller or the inline circuit breaker for the power feed to the brake controller, if this is the case with the harness kit you have, I'd recommend adding the # 5506 which includes the wire, hardware and circuit breakers needed for those connections.

I've linked to an installation video that you might find helpful.
