Is Hopkins Tow Bar Wiring for a 2000 Jeep Wrangler Compatible with Blue Ox Patriot Braking System
Question:
Is this harness compatible with the Patriot Braking system or would I need to install a relay to prevent the brake controller from activating the brake lamps? Can you post installation instructions or more information about the connectors. I have a 2000 Jeep Wrangler.

Expert Reply:
The Hopkins tow bar wiring harness # HM56202 should be compatible with the Patriot III braking system # BLU37TR for your 2000 Jeep Wrangler. I do recommend using the brake lite relay # RM-88400 to ensure that the Jeep brake lights do not override the turn signal sent by the towing vehicle.
Installation is easy. The wiring harness will just plug in line with the vehicle tail light wiring. I have included a link to instructions for another harness that fits and installs the same way on your vehicle.
