Yes, you will. The Curt T-Connector Vehicle Wiring Harness item # C27BR only controls your trailer's lighting functions. It needs a direct power line to your 2023 Jeep Grand Cherokee L's battery to work.

I have linked an installation video below along with the instructions so you can see how to get it set up.
