Question:
I installed a blue ox EZ light wiring harness on a 2022 jeep Wrangler JL with the auto stop start feature and when I flat tow it the batteries drain. Do you have a fix for this? Please help.

Hello Tom, thanks for reaching out. You can resolve this issue by installing a charge line kit on your Jeep. For that you can use the following:
- Roadmaster Battery Charge Line Kit for Towed Vehicles # RM-156-25
In order to use this you will need to install a 6-pin plug on the front of your Jeep and run a 7-way to 6-way coiled cable. For that I recommend part # BX88206.
Since you already have the Blue Ox EZ harness installed you will need to cut off the 4-flat end and wire it to the 6-pin plug I mentioned.
