Trouble With Brake Controller Connecting To Trailer on a 2022 Jeep Grand Cherokee L  

Updated 07/18/2024 | Published 07/14/2024



Question:

I have a Curt trailer brake for my 2022 jeep grand cherokee L and I cannot get it to hook up and connect to the trailer.

Expert Reply:

If your 2022 Jeep Grand Cherokee L has the factory tow package and you are using the Adapter # C51446 to connect your Curt Brake Controller # C87QV I would start by checking the connections. It may be one of the terminals in the connector ends have slid out of the connector. If your controller is not getting power you will want to check your owners manual to find the correct fuses/relays to determine if they need replaced.

Please let me know if you are having a different problem or use a different connection type.

It came with the tow prep package. We had to have the dealership install hitch and wiring harness.

@Tania Then I would have the dealership check the wiring since when using an Adapter # C51446 the installation should be plug and play.
