Can Blue Ox Flat Tow Wiring Be Used to Replace Mopar 82211156AC Wiring on a 2012 Wrangler
Updated 12/06/2024 | Published 04/05/2024
Question:
I am towing a 2012 Jeep Wrangler which has the Mopar harness installed to the factory harness. Tow Vehicle Wiring Harness - Mopar 82211156AC. My umbilical cord is now shot so I need to replace it and it is not available from Mopar anymore. Im hoping this would work if I changed out the Jeep side connector to this new 6 pin connector but I cannot find the wire color code for that Mopar harness.

Hey Eric, thanks for reaching out and providing photos!
You definitely can swap out the 6-Way socket that comes with the Blue Ox 7-Wire to 6-Wire, Coiled Electrical Cord # BX88206 for the plug on your Mopar 82211156AC wiring harness so you can get your 2012 Jeep Wrangler back up and running. I was able to find some information regarding the pinout on your Mopar connector so I'm going to tell you which wire in your photo should carry which function, and then you can use the linked photo of the Blue Ox 6-Way socket to help you correctly install the connector. Please note the orientation of the Blue Ox socket prior to connecting the wires.
Here are the functions your Mopar wiring should be connected to:
(See update in comment below the answer)
Red - Tail/Running Lights
Yellow - Left Turn/Stop
Green - Ground
Black - Right Turn/Stop
Brown - 12V Power
You'll want to verify that this is the correct pin out for your application by applying 12V power to those wires to see what functions they power - I'm not entirely sold that the information I found in a forum is correct.

Hi Jon G, I want to pass along what I found with the Mopar 82211156A* harness that was previously installed on my 2016 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited Rubicon. I've been going through a similar process of figuring out how to wire up a 7 Pin Trailer Plug 6ft Extension Harness to a replacement Mopar Pigtail Connector (e.g., p/n 5013984AA, 5013984AB) that I can use between the vehicles which I'm missing. Your suggested colors > functions for Eric is what I first tried, which did not work (as you said, verify...) so I kept digging and discovered what did work for me. The Mopar 82211156A* harness installed on the towed vehicle wire color/function that worked was: Red - +12V Black - Ground Brown - Tail/Running Lights Yellow - Left Turn/Stop Green - Right Turn/Stop Brittany K. there at eTrailer.com provided your reply to help answer my question so I hope my findings returns the favor for someone also looking for this information.
