Can Tow Bar Wiring and Trailer Wiring Install at Same Time On 2025 Jeep Wrangler  

Jameson - thank you for the quick response! The Jeep trailer hitch will be for a bike rack. Our e-bikes are covered during travel so it’s necessary to have lights on the bike rack. Thanks again for the instructions. Lee

I installed the diode kit on our 2023 Jeep gladiator that has the LED tail lights. I removed the left rear tail light first, made the initial connections there and then ran the wire across/under the bed to the right tail light and made the remaining connections. We have now flat towed for about 8000 miles with no issues. We also have hitch mounted E bikes that we carry. While I have not set up any lights on the bike rack itself, I did buy a cover for the bikes, which I wrap very tight to where my tail lights are still visible. I did try magnetic mount trailer lights to stick on the bike rack, but that did not work and they constantly fell off due to the bike, cover hitting them.

My diodes were not installed properly on my 2022 Jeep Cherokee Trailhawk. Installer missed the instructions to link the brake light signal to the tail lights. I'm not convinced I like using the tail light for braking signals (but haven't tried it). The other problem is that the Jeep brake lights come on when the supplemental braking system activates the brakes, which kills the turn signals. Finally because of chip shortages my Jeep did not come with Parking Assist sensors which sometimes confuses the selection of the correct diodes. Also I have never been able to find any technical information on rear lighting voltages from Jeep, eTrailer, Blue Ox, or Demco.
