I'd be interested to know what exact Curt wiring harness you installed for flat towing your 2019 Jeep Cherokee since flat towing harnesses are designed to receive power while towing harnesses are designed to send power - something like what you described doesn't exist as far as I know.

Now what you CAN do is install the Curt T-Connector Vehicle Wiring Harness # C56406 in addition to a flat towing harness. This will just tee in behind the tail lights like your flat towing wiring might have done, and then you run the black wire up to your battery for the 12V power.

If you can confirm what Curt wiring you have on your Cherokee I'd be more than happy to take a look at it and see if it has a unique design we haven't seen yet.
